COVID-19 NEWS: CCC Helps Educators Use No-Cost Materials
Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) introduced the Education Continuity License “to enable creative approaches to remote teaching and distance learning made necessary by the pandemic.”CCC notes, “Over the past several days, educators across the U.S. have contacted CCC with questions about using copyrighted content and materials in innovative new ways to support distance learning. In response, CCC is coordinating with its community of rightsholders to authorize the use of their materials at no cost by educators as required by the pandemic during this time of emergency. CCC is not delivering educational materials or content to educators; it offers this new license to authorize U.S. school districts, educators, parents and others to make immediate additional uses of materials that they have previously lawfully acquired.” The authorization is active through midsummer 2020 and will be extended if necessary. Educators can view participating publishers using the form on the license’s webpage. For more information, read the press release.
