Media organizations, including Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), will license seed materials, including text, audio and video content, to create a Liberal Studies Creative Archive in support of teachers and students of Liberal Studies in the new senior secondary schools.

Using Creative Commons (CC), an innovative framework for the legal sharing of copyrighted materials, CCHK and the Journalism and Media Studies Centre invite the creative and information industries to support this initiative, which is modeled after the BBC's Creative Archive, to help develop open educational resources for teachers and students.

Distinguished panelists will share their views on:-

The importance of building teaching resources for Liberal Studies.
How legal sharing of educational resources will foster creativity in our education system.
How the creative community can contribute resources to empower teachers and students in developing course materials for Liberal Studies.
