[FC-discuss] creating a copyright How-To for professors whose slideshow presentations have unlicensed images

[D Parker Phinney]

http://www.ocwconsortium.org/share/toolkit.html has a BUNCH of really 
helpful stuff.  they even have powerpoint presentations prepared for 
making the case to different levels of administration.

But one thing I haven't found yet is a concise document explaining fair 
use and creative commons to professors who use google image search to 
get images for their powerpoints.  Beyond clearing lectures to be 
published online as part of OCW, freeing professors' lectures of 
copyright-infringing material (and squeezing in some free culture ideals 
as well) seems to be a good idea in general.

these profs need something short and direct.

"get your images from a flickr cc search or wikimedia commons.  not 
google images.  here are the links, and here (briefly) is why it 
matters.  also, here is how to openly license and publish images of your 
own."

so let's do this!

also, once we get something together, we should hand it back to OCWC so 
they can package it with their toolkit.  In fact, we should be 
communicating with the OCWC if we're not already.  I've been emailing 
Mike Caulfield of OCWC and so far he's really enthusiastic and helpful. 
  he even offered to drive to campus and chat about the logistics of 
implementing OCW.
