License Usage
Qedoc uses a variety of licences. Rather like Flickr, teachers are offered a choice from most of the Creative Commons licences when publishing their work through Qedoc. The CC-BY-NC-SA licence is by far the most popular. Qedoc also uses a wiki for documentation and project development, which uses the CC-BY-SA licence. Qedoc learning resources allow media embedding in an easily extractable, taggable manner, so thousands of media items (mostly images and recordings) are available as well. Media items are usually CC-licenced, but typically different CC licences depending on the original author's choice.
Qedoc originally founded its project on the basis of Creative Commons concepts and Creative Commons remains essential to its distribution policies.
Motivations
The original motivation for the Qedoc project was experience with commercial interactive learning resources which existed on the market in the early 2000's. From a learner's perspective, the existing commercial resources were limited in their value because their content could not be modified. Often interactive learning resources would offer excellent programmatic environments for learning, but once the limited content had been learnt, the enjoyable and motivating programmatic environment was no longer of any use. The big idea behind Qedoc was to create an enjoyable, motivating, interactive learning environment where teachers, parents or students could constantly modify content to suit their teaching and learning goals.
