3532 "Thanks to the Internet, we can tap into the talents and expertise of people "
3533 "around the globe. Chris Anderson calls it the Long Tail of talent.66 But to "
3534 "make collaboration work, the group has to be effective at what it is doing, "
3535 "and the people within the group have to find satisfaction from being "
3536 "involved.67 This is easier to facilitate for some types of creative work "
3537 "than it is for others. Groups tied together online collaborate best when "
3538 "people can work independently and asynchronously, and particularly for "

3563 "It is easy to romanticize the opportunities for global cocreation made "
3564 "possible by the Internet, and, indeed, the successful examples of it are "
3565 "truly incredible and inspiring. But in a wide range of circumstances—perhaps "
3566 "more often than not—community cocreation is not part of the equation, even "
3567 "within endeavors built on CC content. Shirky wrote, “Sometimes the value of "
3568 "professional work trumps the value of amateur sharing or a feeling of "
3569 "belonging.70 The textbook publisher OpenStax, which distributes all of its "
3570 "material for free under CC licensing, is an example of this dynamic. Rather "
3571 "than tapping the community to help cocreate their college textbooks, they "
3572 "invest a significant amount of time and money to develop professional "
3573 "content. For individual creators, where the creative work is the basis for "
3574 "what they do, community cocreation is only rarely a part of the picture. "
3575 "Even musician Amanda Palmer, who is famous for her openness and involvement "
3576 "with her fans, said, “The only department where I wasn’t open to input was "
3577 "the writing, the music itself.”71"

3583 "While we tend to immediately think of cocreation and remixing when we hear "
3584 "the word collaboration, you can also involve others in your creative process "

3586 "interacting with the public to incubate ideas and get feedback. So-called "
3587 "“making in public” opens the door to letting people feel more invested in "
3588 "your creative work.72 And it shows a nonterritorial approach to ideas and "

9364 "PLOS further disrupted the traditional journal-publishing model by "

9368 "and benefiting from economies of scale. PLOS ONE has a broad scope, covering "

9370 "review and editorial process is less subjective. Articles are accepted for "

10209 "Mark wanted to build out the remaining curricula collaboratively through "
10210 "communities of practice—that is, with fellow educators and writers. "
10211 "Although sharing is fundamental to teaching, there can be a few challenges "
10212 "when you create educational resources collectively. One concern is legal. It "
10213 "is standard practice in education to copy diagrams and snippets of text, but "
10214 "of course this doesn’t always comply with copyright law. Another concern is "
10215 "transparency. Sharing what you’ve authored means everyone can see it and "
10216 "opens you up to criticism. To alleviate these concerns, Mark adopted a team-"
10217 "based approach to authoring and insisted the curricula be based entirely on "

10219 "share and free from legal repercussions."
