Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand discussion

[Matt McGregor <Matt.McGregor AT royalsociety.org.nz>]

Hi all,

 

In Dunedin on November 23 to 24, InternetNZ is running Nethui South. For those that haven’t made it to Nethui before, I highly recommend you attend. The sessions are both well-structured and highly participatory, meaning that participants get to hear (and add to) a range of voices—a rare and valuable chance, for those stuck within specialised fields or silo-like institutions, to meet with people from other fields, disciplines and backgrounds. All for a mere $40!

 

Many of the sessions at Nethui cut across Creative Commons licensing, though I’ve been told that one of the education sessions will consider Massive Open Online Courses (the unfortunately acronymed MOOCs), certainly one of the more exciting and thorny developments in open education—one in which open licensing is not always the default option. I look forward to the discussion.

 

Finally, Creative Commons ANZ will also be running a meet-up, on Friday 23^rd November at 6.30pm. I’m going to write some promotional material for this very soon, so if anyone on the list has any suggestions, please get in touch.

 

I hope to see you there!

 

Best wishes,

Matt
