When you get free assets, such as images, that are licensed under CC 4.0 and free for commercial use, how do you give this credit? Where do you add this? Anyone have an example of how you do this in a project?
For photos I usually add the credit information right on the photo. When you have to list more information like a link to the license, etc., then you can put it in a list at the end of your course, or a list that is available by clicking in the Resources link on the top of the player area.
Thanks Melanie for assisting Bill here. Bill, you may also want to post this in the Building Better Courses forum, as these types of questions tend to get more visibility there as well.
Thanks Melanie. I have a follow up question. What do you do with images that you get off Google images that you are not sure on copyright? Or do you avoid those all together?
Ashley, I took your advice and reposted the original post and the follow up question on the Building Better Courses forum.
I never use any images that I am unsure of the copyright. There are plenty of free resources, or you can take pictures yourself. Without a budget to spend on professional photos, I also try to find creative ways to use something other than a photo.

Here's an example of a list. It isn't specific to CC 4.0 license attribution, but you can get the idea from this.

Have you heard of http://morguefile.com/? It is a good place for free photos.
Here's a link to an old thread with free image resources.
