1. What is creative commons and how could this licensing framework be relevant to your own experience at university?
A: "A set of licences intended to offer the consumer more freedoms than traditional copyright."http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Creative_Commons
These licenses make program using and information gathering much easier for everyone, university students included.
2. Find 3 examples of works created by creative commons and embed them in your blog.
3. Find an academic article which discusses creative commons using a database or online journal. Provide a link and a summary of the article.
http://heinonline.org/HOL/Page?handle=hein.journals/uflr55&div=45&g_sent=1&collection=journals
The article basically says how productive and colorful work was before strict copyright laws had come in and how now everything is difficult and ineffective because of these laws.
4. Have a look at Portable Apps (a pc based application) – provide a brief description of what it is and how you think this is useful.
"A portable application (portable app) is a computer software program that is able to run independently without the need to install files to the system it is run upon. They are commonly used on a removable storage device such as a CD, USB flash drive, flash card, or floppy disk."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Apps
