We want to tell the story of when and why a creator first decides to use CC, the kinds of connections they make online, how they invite and encourage collaboration, and what makes them feel like they are valued for their work and part of a community. We’re looking for stories that are similar to the </span><a href="http://stateof.creativecommons.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2016 State of the Commons</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but deeper, getting at the heart of what really drives collaboration online. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is part of our prosocial work, which you can read about in </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/2017/06/16/toward-better-internet-building-prosocial-behavior-commons/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">this post</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">:</span></p> <blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are broadening our focus to look more holistically at sharing and collaboration online. We will investigate the values and behaviors associated with successful collaboration, in the hopes that we might apply them to content platforms where CC licensing is taking place, thereby enhancing the experience of sharing with CC.”</span></p></blockquote> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fill out </span><a href="https://goo.gl/forms/2u6Xi2xTP99yY0662"><span style="font-weight: 400;">this short form</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (it takes 3 min to complete). We are asking for story </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">leads</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> — not fully fleshed out stories — so don’t worry about having enough material for a case study. We plan to contact, interview, and follow these creators or projects over the next year.
