Idea #2 – Open license your online photos.

This is especially easy if you user a service like Flickr that includes a Creative Commons licensing option.

In Flickr, you can change the license of any photo you’ve uploaded by clicking the edit button next to the rights and then selecting an open license. (See below.) You can change your default photo license settings by going to You -> Your Account -> Privacy& Permissions-> What license will your content have.

If you don’t use Flickr or another service that allows easy open licensing, just include your license (e.g. Creative Commons BY) in your image notes.

Because generous people like you are willing to share, Flickr has over 90 million open licensed photos available for all of us to use.

(This is part of an on-going series on what you can do to help grow the OER movement.)
