Giving Away Your Work On the Internet

Date: Sunday, January 24, 2010

Time: 10:00-11:20 Communication Session by Mr. Douglas Perkins from US

We can use the internet to find lots of information, and we can use it to share our own work. We can also find other people's work, reuse it, and then share our new creations. This is particularly useful for amateurs who don't have the resources to do everything on their own. Personally, I make many education materials and want to give them away. Although few people use my materials, anyone can copy them and do whatever they like, such as improving them and in turn giving away the improved materials. Let's talk about what we can do to make the things we create high quality, easy for others to reuse, and legal.

I gave the talk at the Akita Communicative English Studies group meeting. See http://www.edinet.ne.jp/~takeshis/images/AES06/AESadd11.htm for more information.
