CC BY License Requirement
“To ensure that the Federal investment of these funds has as broad an impact as possible and to encourage innovation in the development of new learning materials, as a condition of the receipt of a TAACCCT grant, the grantee will be required to license to the public all work created with the support of the grant under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 (CC BY) license.”
“The purpose of the CC BY licensing requirement is to ensure that materials developed with funds provided by these grants result in Work that can be freely reused and improved by others.”
Only work that is developed by the grantee with the grant funds.
Applies to:
Pre-existing copyrighted materials licensed to, or purchased by the grantee from third parties, including modifications of such materials
Works created without grant funds
Does not apply to:

“OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.”
With $2 billion over 4 years, TAACCCT is the largest OER* initiative in the world.
*thanks to CC BY license requirement
Why did we do this?
U.S. DOL:
“We did this because open licensing increases the impact of our investment and helps us to be more strategic with our future investments.”
“From a public policy perspective, the Department is a better steward of public funds by giving the public access to those things created using public funds, and ensuring that these products have as wide spread a use as possible.”
“TAACCCT is a really big investment. But we expect that OER will allow the impact to be even greater than just the 800 colleges with new curricula and equipment that we directly funded.”
public access to publicly funded
works
Bottom line:
What does this mean for me practically speaking?
But..
I can build on R1 TAACCCT OER. I save $ b/c I share development
costs. I save time and effort. I can improve my resource with
others.
Thanks to CC BY:
Costs are lower for students. I am an example of open policy. New partnerships and market
opportunities innovation Local, regional, international
Thanks to CC BY:
Fulfilling the requirement is
simple

What if we incorporate other OER into our materials? How do we give credit?
Q:
Tweak CC BY license notice to read that there are exceptions.
Attribute authors of OER you are using according to CC best practices.
A:
“Unless otherwise noted the NAC website bythe National Aviation Consortium is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.”
Then, make sure to note those materials that are governed by different terms.
You can do this on a separate credits page at the end of the resource. Example
Or you can note it right next to the material. Example

FAQ
Who do we put as the author of our materials (eg. consortium, college, faculty)?
Q:
Up to your consortium or college’s policy. Grant doesn’t stipulate.
A:
How do we credit the U.S. DOL as a funder of our materials?
Q:
DOL has included exact disclaimer language in your SGA.
Round 2: See SGA p.9Round 3: See Correction: Intellectual Property Requirements
A:
"This workforce product was funded by a grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. The product was created by the grantee and does not necessarily reflect the official position of the U.S. Department of Labor. The U.S. Department of Labor makes no guarantees, warranties, or assurances of any kind, express or implied, with respect to such information, including any information on linked sites and including, but not limited to, accuracy of the information or its completeness, timeliness, usefulness, adequacy, continued availability, or ownership."
Required Disclaimer:
Disclaimer is separate from / has nothing to do with the CC BY license notice.
You can include it in the same section where you usually add your disclaimers or notices.
Note:
When are grant materials required to be publicly available?
Q:
At the end of the grant. Please consult your DOL federal program officer for details.
A:
Should our materials be in a final version before being made available?
Q:
They don’t have to be! We encourage sharing drafts to avoid duplicate efforts by other grantees.
A:
We are meeting resistance from faculty and others around opening materials. What steps can I take?
Q:
Remind them it is required by the grant! If that doesn’t help, we have talking points we can send you about the benefits of opening up publicly funded materials. Email [email protected].
A:
I can’t remember all this. Where can I go when I’m actually applying the CC BY license?
