Where should I place the attribution?
• For text resources (eg books, worksheets, PowerPoint slides etc), include the
attribution details next to CC work or as the footer along the bottom of the
page on which the CC work appears.
• For video works, include the attribution information near the work as it
appears on screen during the video.
• For sound recordings (e.g. podcasts), mention the name of the artist during the
recording (like a radio announcement) and provide full attribution details in
text near the podcast where it is being stored (eg blog, school intranet,
