Creative Commons licenses are already integral to the growing open education movement. However, there is a lot of confusion about the various CC licenses and the ramifications of choosing one license over another, especially in the context of education. ccLearn is drafting language and supporting materials that are more appropriate for the educational context which will then be wrapped around a mirror site for choosing a CC license for educational materials. This portal will also serve as a point of departure for people to understand some of the bigger issues and hopes in open education, and we expect it to drive interest in creating new forms of media and outreach to help more people understand open education, CC licenses, and the hopes for the future.

We are hoping to launch this portal in the summer of 2008.
