Draft Creative Commons attribution lines for openly licensed classroom materials
Takes a teacher's list of openly licensed images, texts and music used in a slide deck or handout and drafts an attribution line for each one using the Creative Commons TASL elements (Title, Author, Source, License), flags items whose license details are missing, and flags any planned change to an ND (NoDerivatives) licensed work, since CC says those licenses do not allow adaptations.
Human in the loop: Teacher or school librarian checks every line against the original source page before the material is shared. Limits: CC says there is no single correct form of attribution and it must reasonably include what the licensor supplied, so the agent drafts and flags, it does not certify compliance. Not legal advice. CC also advises against putting attribution in alt text, so the agent keeps credits out of alt text. No student work or names as inputs. Methodology 1.0: Hold.
