CC BY Requirement for TAACCCT


  • All materials produced or modified with DOL funds are to be openly licensed CC BY
  • Deliverables are to be primarily OER, combined with proprietary content based on specifics of grant
  • Building a pool of OER that will provide a foundation for 2-year institutions

What will this open licensing do? 

  • Allow for greatest sharing and reuse
  • Allow for updates/improvements, customization, and extension of your efforts (with credit given to you!)
  • Help impact many populations beyond the origin population served
