3. Reviser: Double check the accuracy of information and that group members follow the instructions
4. Editor: cooperate with researcher to summarise and re-phrase the information
The group members will present orally about the creative common using the questions in the next section and design an infographic that deliver their finding through a nice data visualisation.
Process

Conclusion
After this group project you will be able to understand the meaning of each of the creative common licences. You will appreciate the benefits of re using other people's intellectual property and in the same time respecting their ownership of this property by applying the rules of their common creative licence.
You will be able to present these information to your classmates orally and in a nice compact visualisation (i.e. infographic)

Content and pedagogy
This webquest will help me as a teacher to move towards a student centred teaching. This learning environment will guide my students towards what they are expected to achieve at the end of the class. they will actively engage in learning process and learn from each other as they perform the group tasks. Students will use ICT resources such as internet website, presentation software and graphic design software to produce the materials they will be assessed on. Along the way they will learn skills they can use in real life such as teamwork, communication and presentation skills.
Collaborating and networking
The task required in this webquest will make students assign roles and collaborate between each other. also one of the objectives of the lessons is that student will appreciate the value of collaboration by re-using other people's intellectual properties that are available on the internet under the different types of licences and adapt it to their needs if the license permits. As a teacher, publishing a webquest on this website serves as a chance to sharing ideas and experiences with other teachers on this global learning platform to enhance the education profession.
Social issues
As the students use the web resources in the process section they are required to look out for the copyright issues and respect other people's intellectual property before reusing them in their work. Furthermore, the topic of this webquest is about copyright licences which is an important social issue associated with integrating ICT in the curriculum.
Technical issues
Technical issues regarding the use of this webquest in minimal. The targeted students have both good presentation skills and graphic design skills since these are taught in the ICT curriculum from grade 1. The IT infrastructure in our school is quiet robust compared with other countries especially in the e-learning classroom with state-of-the-art computers and average speed internet connection. we don't have IT technician but the educational technology specialist is available when IT support is needed.
