Often it's institutions that own the IP that educators (and Education Officers) create - so we cannot use Share Alike unless we can get clearance to share from our institutions. @The Black Adder - I advise all educators that they need to check out their contracts to find out who owns the IP they create before they use CC materials with the share alike option.

It's rather interesting to watch some teachers use this material freely but not be willing to re-share the products they produce.

I am pretty sure that this would be a great tool especially for those people who went gaga over online stuff and yet remained to be left behind on what's new or what in the world of e-learning.

We never stop learning everyday. As the world became smaller and smaller due to the Internet, it is of best interest for both students and educators alike to share information or works online for both the whole world to see. However, with due respect to the creators having certain laws such as copyrights should be well-adept to give what is due to those hardworking creators or educators.

Yet we don't have some of the wonderful civic minded protections the US enjoys. Works by the US government are not protected by copyright under 17 USC § 105. What a wonderful return to the taxpayer. Here we have sections of the Copyright Act 1968 that lock up taxpayer funded works where they are rarely exploited and creative reuse becomes nonexistant. Whats more government employees are locked out of contributing to the open content community without ponderous exemptions. Lets all go to Canberra with an amendment to the Copyright act and remove copyright from future government works unless the government specifically grants an agency an exemption. Lets stop extending copyright expiry while we have a gun pointed at out head. Lets strengthen out right to fair use outside of the education community. How about a right to free speech while we are at it so we can engage in criticism. This is not a radical agenda. We constantly refer to overseas laws when we remove civil rights in the war on terror, war on drugs, war on piracy or war on the Internet. Why can't we learn from good laws for a change?
