I present on Creative Commons licensing and educators are often surprised as to the limits the current system imposes and the fact that many "traditional" copyright restrictions are still print-focused. As we explore e-portfolios for students, educators have to ensure that their students know how to find and use resources legally in creating projects. That way the work they create will have more relevance, a longer shelf life and a wider audience than that of teacher and classroom. And knowing that their projects will form the basis of their e-portfolios -- students are bound to produce better quality work. Creative Commons has a vital role to play in all of this.
