We are pleased that our 2024 training and engagement efforts supported national governments, universities, secondary education institutions, NGOs, librarians, cultural heritage professionals, and web developers spanning almost every continent. See below for highlights, and contact us if you would like to collaborate in 2025. </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Piloting new partnerships:</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><b> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC worked in partnership with the </span><a href="https://www.unomaha.edu/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">University of Nebraska at Omaha</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on “</span><a href="https://advance.nebraska.edu/browse/uno/microcredentials/courses/open-educational-resources-for-librarians-and-educators"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Introduction to Open Educational Resources</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” our first professional development microcredential course. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We partnered with</span><a href="https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Library Juice Academy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to create an additional microcredential course launching in January 2025. </span><a href="https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/shop/course/341-creative-commons-licenses-from-concepts-to-practice/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Registration</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is currently open until all seats are filled. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Similar to our partnership with the US Midwest Higher Education Compact (</span><a href="https://www.mhec.org/convening/get-certified-creative-commons"><span style="font-weight: 400;">MHEC</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">), we partnered with</span><a href="https://bccampus.ca/2024/08/08/bccampus-partners-with-creative-commons-to-support-open-licensing-education/"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> BCcampus </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">to support subsidized CC Certificate training for additional higher education institutions. </span></li> </ul> </li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Expanding training options: </span> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC provided increased support for our </span><a href="https://certificates.creativecommons.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC Certificate program</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and its 1,892 alumni across 68 countries.
