Animal I-Class 1.0 was originally created in February of 2002 by Rick Bures (version 4.0 was created in the winter and spring of 2003, and 4.1 in fall of 2005). It was created as an educational technology project and funded by a Federal PT3 Educational Technology grant through the Oregon Technology in Education Network (OTEN) Consortium.

About the Images and Movies

The media in Animal I-Class falls into three categories:

1. Freely available and distributable, with no credit lines required. The animal paintings fall into this category. I got the animal artwork and the crocodile and flamingo photographs from the clip art collections distributed with a variety of word processors and graphics programs.

2. Public domain (freely available and distributable), but credit lines must accompany the image. The images and video from NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) fall into this category, as do the images from Environment Australia (EA- Australian Government) and the image I used from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). All of these images and video clips are credited. The published policy from NOAA and an email I received from them granting me permission to utilize the media are listed below, as are the published policies from EA and USFWS.

3. Privately copyrighted, special permission required, credit lines required. Many of the images, from a variety of organizations and individuals, are privately owned and copyrighted. In each case, I obtained special permission to use and distribute the images. Each image includes a credit line. Documents granting me permission for each of these images are listed below.
