iii About the Teacher

Creative Commons

As a teacher, what I teach should be rooted in the works of others. At the same time I should honor the copyright of others. I hope I have navigated this challenge successfully. I have tried to cite sources and give credit to sources from where I have learnt to teach a certain subject.

When preparing for this course I had the choice of using the Creative commons licence or a copyright. In the spring of 2018 I chose the latter (copyright) for two reasons a) as an entity this course is a teacher's choice (my choice) on what issues to address and hence an independent work b) In the Spring of 2018) I felt insecure with using the creative commons licence. In particular many academic journals are under copyright.

From the summer  of 2018 the course has been under a creative commons licence. This  means that the course can be easily technically copied . However my belief is that I can make implicit only part of the knowledge and experience I have and that a lot of the value added  will be in the questions students ask and the answers I can give or that we can discuss together, Many of the video´s are on my YouTube account and should somebody just copy my course, they will in fact be making my YouTube account slightly more popular,

For the Autumn 2018 course I copied (reused the summer course) and made adjustments to the original (summer 2018 firs time under cc license). Interestingly because of reuse the platform automatically set the license to "This course is a derivative work…" I find this to be a very good property of the platform.

My hope is that this course makes visible what I teach. I hope I could travel the world and teach the subject in different countries.
