CC Netherlands
Description:
In spring 2006, CC-NL developed a 10-weeks course for undergraduate students Communication & Multimedia Design at the Professional University The Hague, The Netherlands. With the exception of one piece of literature, only CC-licensed works were used in the course. The course consisted of (guest) lectures, workshops, field trips to some organizations and companies (broadcasting, media) that have to deal with the issue of open content, a written exam and a student project. For the project we asked students to develop a multimedia application that would explain the issue of copyright and Creative Commons to a particular audience (like photographers, students, film makers). After the course ended we organized a 'teach-the-teacher' workshop for the university lecturers with the goal of teaching them how to develop their own courses on CC/alternative copyright. Following the 2006 course we are now developing a 'teach-the-teacher' toolkit which will be available to all universities and educational institutes in The Netherlands.
