“What are Creative Commons Licenses?” by U of G Library is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

This is my first post attempting to use a Creative Commons License. I embedded a video from YouTube that talks all about what a Creative Common License is, and then used the link that was added below the original video to find the proper license to cite this video and its source properly. Hopefully I did it right!

This was quite a challenge for me. The YouTube video itself had a link that took me directly to the Creative Commons website. There was nothing directly to copy and past and I still was unsure of what exactly I needed to include. I looked up images on the website itself to look for examples on what to do and it was very helpful. For the video above I had to link all three linked sources on my own, whereas the image below I was able to copy and paste the information directly from the site.

Above is the photo I looked up as an example for myself on how to give credit for the license in Creative Commons.

It’s been interesting that up until this class I have never been informed that any of this licensing even existed. I’ve always been told that I can add whatever images or videos I wanted to posts, presentations, etc. I feel guilty now that in the past I never had the knowledge to properly credit the original creators.
