“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025. Accommodating the additional 105 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years. 1 ISCED levels 5 & 6 UNESCO Institute of Statistics figures2 British Council and IDP Australia projections CC BY – C Green 2007

OER in a nutshellOER is about creating repositories of
material which are free to:

OER in a nutshellYou can do more with OER as
compared with 'traditional' copyright material
Copyright tensions
10
Compliance and Cost Issues• New technologies facilitate access to and storage
and sharing of copyright materials. • This makes copyright a serious issue for the
education sector as it must:– Ensure systems, teachers and students comply with
copyright law
– Manage increasing cost implications
• Eg schools paid c.$80m in 2010 for sector-wide licences (more on direct licences & own content)
11
Compliance and Cost Issues• Current to pay to copy/save freely and publicly
available internet content, under the compulsory statutory licence (CAL and Screenrights)
• Current sector-wide licences & statutory exceptions do not necessarily sit well with the current ICT use in education:– content may not be modified
– content cannot be shared widely (eg with parents, community, other schools)
– Limit on how much you can copy/communicate

Website terms and conditions
Website terms and conditions can be unclear and confusing…or absent entirely
….meaning the intention of the website publisher with regards to educational use of
their site is unknown.
