In order for a resource to be considered open, it must be shared under a Creative Commons license, often allowing others do the following:
- Retain a copy

- Revise or modify
- Remix or combine parts from various sources into one
- Redistribute the original and your revision/remix
IU Libraries staff can help you understand what the license enables you to do in your course.
