When using Creative Commons and other open education resources, remember to provide documentation of your source material.

What's the difference between citation and attribution: " Both citation and attribution give credit to others. Citations give credit when you use someone else’s ideas or words in your own work. Attributions give credit when you reuse or reproduce someone else’s work." In order to avoid a copyright license violation, use attributions for openly licensed content. There is no official style guide. Be sure to include the title, author, URL, and license. See slide deck by Amy Hofer for Open Oregon Educational Resources based on presentations by Quill West (see [|his work] on SlideShare.net
