CCC Debuts New Curriculum and Instruction License
Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) introduced its Annual Copyright License for Curriculum & Instruction, which is designed to help remove copyright barriers faced by U.S. schools, education technology companies, custom publishers, and curriculum developers that are looking to incorporate excerpts of copyrighted content into curriculum materials, whether used for in-person or online instruction. A variety of major publishers are participating, including the Associated Press, Chicago Review Press, Rowman & Littlefield, and Smithsonian Books.The new license “eases the burden of obtaining individual licenses from individual publishers because it grants the rights to use copyrighted passages and excerpts from a diverse set of publishers offering high-quality, standards-aligned fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, scholarly journals, newspapers, and web content. Schools, districts, and their curriculum providers can then easily incorporate material from these publishers into locally developed [curricula] which can be provided through education technology applications and platforms such as learning management systems.” For more information, read the press release.
