Q: Creative Commons licenses...
- dictate what is common knowledge, and therefore not copyrighted.
- apply only to artistic works, such as paintings and sculptures. (Creative Commons licenses can apply to any work.)
- allow for unlimited creative use of a work. (Each Creative Commons (CC) license provides for different levels of use. Though the CC organization enables users to add their work to the public domain, CC licenses themselves limit the use of a work.)
- None of the above.
A: None of the above.

Q: If a work does not include a copyright, it is considered in the public domain and can be used in any way.
- True
- False
A: False
Feedback: A copyright notice is not required to protect a work - always assume a work is copyrighted with all rights reserved. When a work does not include a copyright notice, but you can determine when it was published (or when the author died, for unpublished works), use the Copyright Digital Slider to determine copyright.

Q: Which of the following must be true in order for a work to be digitized?
- No digital version of the work is available to Orono Public Schools.
- The existing digital version of the work has technological protections that prevent allowed uses.
- The work must fit in the scanner.
- The currently owned version must be legally made and aquired.
- The work must be in good taste.
A: No digital version of the work is available to Orono Public Schools.; The existing digital version of the work has technological protections that prevent allowed uses.; The currently owned version must be legally made and aquired.
Feedback: Material that is not already in digital form may be digitized only if 1. no digital version of the work is available to Orono Public School; or, 2. the existing digital version of the work is subject to technological protections that prevent allowed uses. Any copyrighted work used in class must also be legally made and aquired.

Q: Anything you create using Orono resources, including your computer and included software, is owned by the district.
- True
- False
A: True
Feedback: Per policy Orono Schools Policy 419, “unless the employee develops, creates or assists in developing or creating a publication, instructional material, computer program, invention or creation entirely on the employee’s own time and without the use of any school district facilities or equipment...” the district retains rights to the work, for up to three years after they leave Orono.

Q: Most content found on U.S. government websites is in the public domain, and therefore can be used in any way.
- True
- False
A: True
Feedback: Typically, all content found on U.S. government websites - with the exception of logos - is in the public domain; look for the .gov extension, e.g. usda.gov.

Q: When using copyrighted material in the classroom, you must include
A: *copyright notice / attribution / *credit to the author / a disclaimer
Feedback: When using copyrighted work you must include a copyright notice to attribute the work to the author. Online courses must also include a disclaimer that the material may be subject to copyright.

Q: Copyrighted material that meets copyright guidelines for online learning may be posted online for how long?
- For the entire school year
- For the entire semester
- Until it is outdated
- Until the author requests it be taken down
- Forever
- As long as is necessary to teach the material
- All of the above
A: As long as is necessary to teach the material
Feedback: Copyrighted materials may only be accessible online for the time necessary to teach the material, similar to what would be available students during a regular class. For example, you may keep material posted for the duration of the unit you are teaching, but it may not be available for students to access later in the semester.
