Overview of the School of Computing for the Creative Industries

This document  provides  a brief overview  of the  College's  thinking
regarding the CCI School.

Philosophy

The School of Computing for the Creative Industries is a new departure
for Ravensbourne   College. It  retains  Ravensbourne's  commitment to
vocationalism and practical  skills, as well as  Ravensbourne's spirit
of innovation and enterprise. Though  the School takes its inspiration
and values from   the core  of   the Ravensbourne tradition,  it  also
embraces  new opportunities and  a new vision. The School's programmes
are rigorous with  a strong technical focus.  One of the undergraduate
programmes is delivered entirely via  e-learning. The other programmes
make strategic use of  e-learning, digital communications, and Web 2.0
technologies as a living demonstration of, and  a process of practical
research in, the subject matter of the School.

Intellectual Property - Creative Commons

Although  we   recognise  an important   role   for trade  secrets and
proprietary knowledge, the  School also recognises that open standards
- and open  source  solutions - have been   instrumental in the  rapid
growth and enduring success of the internet. Furthermore, we recognise
that appropriation and reuse - rip, mix, and burn - are central to the
progress of  innovation   in   digital technology  and    the creative
industries.  A  balanced  view of   intellectual property,  therefore,
recognises the crucial  role of open  source solutions and a "creative
commons".

An important feature of the Web 2.0 platform is its use of open source
building blocks. And the  pace of innovation in  the Web 2.0 landscape
is  accelerated  by the frequent,  and  routine,  open-sourcing of the
tools and techniques of the platform.

The School of  Computing for the  Creative Industries will release its
learning  materials under a  Creative  Commons license to ensure their
widest  possible  dissemination and use.  Technical  facilities in the
School will be  built   on open source   platforms.  We will   support
students  who  wish to  release projects   under free  and open source
licenses.
