Copyright Clearance Center Launches MOOC Content Licensing Solution

Partners with SIPX, Study.net and XanEdu to Make Securing Permission
to Reuse Copyrighted Content in Massive Open Online Courses Effortless

"One of the biggest challenges in reusing published content in MOOCs
is obtaining copyright permissions and then disseminating the licensed
content to enrolled students. Through its partnership with leading
course materials providers, CCC's solution provides copyright-cleared
course content to students enrolled in a MOOC, relieving the
instructor of the burden of securing permissions and distributing
content.

"This solution makes it easy for instructors at academic institutions
to secure permission to reuse copyrighted content in their MOOCs,"
said Tim Bowen, CCC's Director, Academic Products & Services. "It also
makes it simpler for students to secure the licensed content at
academic-based pricing from rights holders."
