How do I license and create open content?

Creating open content is easy.  All you need to do is take your original resources (e.g. PowerPoint slides, booklets, tests, videos, podcasts and simulations) and apply an open licence.

This directory promotes the use of Creative Commons licences for specifying how others may use, share and adapt resources, and encourages authors to make their resources as open as possible. See ‘What is a creative commons licence?’ for further information, and ‘Get a CC licence’ for step-by-step instructions.

Once you have licensed your work you need to find a place to host it online before you can link it to this directory. See ‘Where can I host my resource?’ for more details.
