How do I credit a course with a non-commercial licence?

Check the licence for each course

You can view the licence for every course in its 'About this course' book.

For courses with a CC-BY-NC (non-commercial) licence, see below.

If the course has a CC BY licence see: How do I credit the original authors of the materials and courses?


Non commercial licence (CC-BY-NC)

For courses that are licensed under the CC-BY-NC Non commercial licence (including ABC Learning Design) you must first seek permission from the licence holders before you use the course for any commercial purposes.

Once permissions has been granted, or if you are only using the work for non-commercial purposes, you must always note the author, licence (CC BY-NC) and source (URL).
