Spend time perusing the vast amounts of open educational resources and examining the different usage rights regarding Creative Common items. Create a post with the definition of OER and the various Creative Commons licenses one may encounter when searching for these resources.
OER or Open Educational Resources are resources for teaching and learning that are free and openly available online for anyone to use. These resources are readily available for immediate use. These resources include course modules, full courses, assessments, games, lectures, syllabus and other digital resources across a range of subject areas from around the globe.

This licensing allows users to distribute, display, webcast and copy the work as long as the user adheres to the conditions of the license.
These are the different types of licenses:
