Post 5

Prepare a blog post of approximately 700 - 900 words in two parts:

1. Write about a topical concept or interesting idea of your choice (400 - 500 words). You don't need to restrict the topic to education, it could be a hobby or personal interest. This component of the blog must include:
   • Text you can legally copy and modify about 300 words.
   • Sources from a minimum of three different Creative Commons license types or open usage declarations (this is intended to explore your knowledge and the challenges associated with license compatibility when choosing the license for redistribution).
   • Over and above the Creative Commons sourced material, this section of the post must also include an extract of all rights reserved content legitimately used under the exception provisions of your national copyright act.
   • You must include at least one image in your post which can count as one of the required license types for this post.
   • Based on your preferred license preference and the legal requirements of the materials you have copied for reuse and adaptation in your blog, you must apply a Creative Commons license for your derivative work which meets the legal requirements for remix compatibility.
   • Your blog post must include proper attributions for the materials you have reused.
2. In the second part of this blog, write up a short reflection of about 300 words based on your experiences of this activity. Questions you could address, for example, include:
   • Did you need to change your preferred licence choice, and if so why?
   • Who owns the copyright of your blog post? Did this impact on what Creative Commons material you could source? Justify your answer.
   • Does the license you applied meet the requirements of a free cultural works approved license? If not, would it be possible to achieve a free cultural works approved license given the requirements for the number of different license types or open usage declarations required for this post.
   • Any other reflections or observations worth sharing with fellow students.
3. Important: Log into WikiEducator and register your blog post which is required for tracking minimum participation metrics.
