Introduction

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all content from the class wiki, mailing list, the class time itself, and class-related discussions may be quoted and paraphrased so long as the anonymity of the speaker is preserved. In other words, it is all right to say "Someone in my IIF class said that..."

Options

For things that can be attributed to individuals, or for which identification with an individual is unavoidable (for instance, video), we have two options; please comment regarding which one you would prefer.

Attribution is OK by default

Everything that can be attributed must be attributed. Everything is okay to share and attribute to relevant individuals by default; if you want something to remain private or unattributed, you must explicitly request it.

  • support. I don't think we will be sharing any confidential details amongst ourselves, and this will make it much easier for our work to be spread. I'd even suggest cc-by for all our coursework. Mchua 10:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I hereby license all my brilliant pearls of wisdom under this "OK by default" license. Dan Ray 15:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
  • This system is fine with me, too. Gwen 19:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Attribution must be asked for by default

If you want permission to attribute a contribution or post something with identifiable individuals, you must get permission from each individual that would be identified in the work.
