Creative Commons Open Learning Initiative

Autodesk is expanding education in the Media & Entertainment segment and making content available under a CC licence.

And a lot of content at that. 20,000 pages of documentation, 70 videos and 140 3D asset files for download.

The initiative was essentially triggered unintentionally by a college lecturer from Canada. Paul Duguay wanted to translate content from the Autodesk 3ds Max Learning Channel into French to make it available to the French-speaking 3ds Max community and his students, with official access through the college website. The idea was good, but the legal pitfalls were better. But Autodesk says this prompted CC, from which the company also benefits for internal use. And his French tutorial can now also be found there.

Further information about CC can be found here, and the content is available here.
