Creative Commons is launching a new project to provide a service and an openly sharable set of materials for organizations to customize and offer Certifications in Creative Commons:
Creative Commons is developing a series of certificates to provide organizations and individuals with a range of options for increasing knowledge and use of Creative Commons.
The Creative Commons Master Certificate will define the full body of knowledge and skills needed to master CC. This master certificate will be of interest to those who need a broad and deep understanding of all things Creative Commons.
In addition, custom certificates are being designed for specific types of individuals and organizations. Initially Creative Commons is focusing on creating a specific CC Certificate for 1. educators, 2. government, and 3. librarians. The CC Certificate for each of these will include a subset of learning outcomes from the overall CC Master Certificate along with new learning outcomes specific to each role.
All certificates will include both a modular set of learning materials that can be used independently for informal learning, and a formal, structured and facilitated certificate the can be taken for official certification.

An GitHub Experiment
This site is a first effort to represent the structure of the certificate's modules, performance objectives, and enabling objectives in a readable web-enabled format. Additionally, by hosting this site on GitHub, we are hoping to leverage the capabilities of a version-control platform originally designed for distributed software development to use in our collaborative development.
The first effort is making a "map" of the core of the Master Certificate based on what was first drafted in a large Google Docs spreadsheet.
Once developed, this can be "forked" into versions to be customized for our sector focuses in Higher Education, Libraries, and Government. And when those are established, they can be "forked" by anyone to customize.
