New project could improve results from school web searches


“This new capability will be extremely helpful to educators everywhere in identifying appropriate educational materials for their classrooms,” said Peter Cohen, Pearson School CEO.

Creative Commons promotes creative re-use of intellectual and artistic works, whether owned or in the public domain. Through its free copyright licenses, it gives authors, artists, scientists, and educators the choice of a flexible range of protections and freedoms that build upon the “all rights reserved” concept of traditional copyright to enable a voluntary “some rights reserved” approach.

Educators say they find Creative Commons helpful if they need images or other resources to add dimension to presentations or projects.

The Learning Resource Metadata project is funded by grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
