One of the biggest problems at the core of education is motivation. That’s according to the newest iteration of the popular Padagogy Wheel (pad for iPad instead of ‘ped’agogy) we showcased a couple weeks ago.

Creative Commons Licenses, despite going to great pains to be clear and easily understood, are routinely confused and misinterpreted.

In my experience, with both this site and other works of mine licensed under various Creative Commons terms, a very small percentage of all uses actually fully comply with the license, less than about 5%. Though most of the uses do try to comply with the spirit of the license, which is why I don’t object to these uses, complying with a Creative Commons License, contrary to popular belief, is not merely a matter of giving a byline and being done.
