How can you license educational materials you made, or compiled, under a Creative Commons License? This Wikiwijs arrangement teaches you how to do this without infringing on copyright.
Intended audience

Note that as a teacher at a Dutch Universitiy of Applied Sciences you can make use of several exceptions to copyright. Creative Commons licenses do not reduce, limit, or restrict any rights under exceptions and limitations to copyright. This means that if an exception for education allows particular use, a Creative Commons license cannot restrict this.
