But CC-By licensing can influence the construction and repurposing of learning materials. And thereby CC-By licensing can positively influence the quality of learning materials. It’s probably (as always) a matter of posing the right research question.
The final question in this discussion would probably be how to measure the quality of learning materials and whether licensing does influence this quality in a significant way.
