    The internet and mobility has put content at our fingertips, but unfortunately few people embrace that this content was create by someone. I often see students and other members of the public who use content (videos, music, artwork) without citing the content’s originator. Google has a decent search tool that includes user rights. It isn’t a perfect system, but it is relatively accurate in recognizing whether or not particular content can be used with or without attribution, and for commercial or non-commercial requirements.
    There are many websites that offer Creative Commons licenses content (although few people realize there are multi-levels of these licenses) and attribution-free content but one needs to know where to look.
    Alternatively, you can find platforms like the ones Erica references in her submission. Here are some platforms that I am familiar with that connect users with designers is – https://www.fiverr.com/ | https://envato.com | https://www.pond5.com | https://pixabay.com/
    Can we get a sneak-peak of your talk? How can Web Monetization be a solution for sustainably funding open education (or at least the maintenance of it)?

      What I am referencing isn’t a website, Sam. It is a new API Standard for the flow of micropayments on the web between Web Monetization subscribers and the digital content that they view that is Web Monetized. I shared talk on it above, which explains how this works and how it presents a solution for sustainably funding open education. You can also engage further in the conversation on, via OEG Connect: https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/sustainable-funding-solutions-in-open-education-with-the-web-monetization-standard/2217/8
