See what people say about CC Certificate courses. Stephen Craig Finlay, OER and STEM Librarian at UNO Libraries notes: 

“If at all possible, take this course.  It's probably the most valuable and rewarding professional development training I've done since becoming an academic librarian in 2013. I thought I had a pretty decent grasp of the ins and outs of Creative Commons before taking the course, and the difference in my knowledge and skill set now compared to then is night and day. In my experience, the heavy majority of faculty don't have a great idea of what CC is, how it works, or what it can do for them.  Being a campus resource for CC has raised my profile at the university, which has done wonders for work building and running an OER program. As soon as I started helping faculty with individual reference consultations about CC, word started getting around.  Now I'm getting faculty I've never met emailing me to ask for advice on a CC question, because they heard about me from a peer.  Money well spent.”
