Open Licensing and Human Statement

Open Licensing

This Pressbook is a collection of articles, reflections, musings, and activities, which holds a Creative Commons license. Most of the book is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. However, “On Creativity: The Workshop” and “Guide for Reviewing” hold more flexible licenses, and thus you’ll find different licensing information at the very bottom of each of those chapters.

Additionally:

• None of the music videos used in this newsletter were downloaded. All of them were embedded using html code or linked using YouTube urls. To the best of our knowledge and since there’s no licensing we saw listed, the music videos are “All Rights Reserved.”
• The images in this book hold a variety of different licenses: some are Creative Commons licensed and some not. We’ve tried to include all this information in the Media Attribution section of each chapter.
• Finally, some of the descriptive links throughout the book will navigate to openly licensed content. For instance, in the “Ground Control” chapter, the linked Canvas pages are all licensed CC BY 4.0.

Human Statement

This newsletter was written, designed, and researched by four human eLearning Instructional Designers. In a few instances, additional humans contributed content. To the best of our knowledge, no traditional, generative, or other AI was used. That said, we (the humans) encourage ethical, intentional, environmentally aware use of AI platforms for a variety of purposes. Since humans, like machines, are imperfect, please let us know if you have any questions about the newsletter content, design, format, licensing, or accessibility by emailing us at: elearning@seattlecolleges.edu.
