When you do work for your studies (an essay in which you want to include some photos, a video for which some graphic material would be useful, or background music, a presentation in which you want to include some graphics), you save a lot of time if you reuse materials you find on the Internet. However, the fact that a work is available on the Internet does not necessarily mean that its author has given you permission to use it in your work. Fortunately, there is a type of work for which the author has indeed given permission, and I can reuse them without any problem: they are free works.

In this seminar we look at what these free works are, how to recognize them, and how to find free works of various types. We also talk about how to make your own works free, and what (positive and negative) implications this may have for you.

Among other topics, we cover the following:

  • Copying, reusing, is not (necessarily) bad
  • What are free works?
  • Can I use a free work in my assignments?
  • The main free licenses
  • Locating free works: images
  • Locating free works: audio
  • Locating free works: videos
  • Locating free works: other elements
  • How to make my work free (and what I gain from it)
