Our goal:“Universal access to research and education, full participation in culture.”

1. Free Licences
We argue:Educational resources should be shared openly, to enable anyone to share, adapt and reuse
First (obvious) point:It's much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.
This massively increases the potential audience for (your) educational resources→ not just the teachers in your school, area or email list
This means you cannot predict who will find your work useful.
There's more content than ever (and it's easy to find & use).

The technical barriers to access and reuse are dropping

However, the legal barriers todissemination & reuse remain.

Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.
Teachers don’t own copyright to resources they produce in the course of their employment
→ the BoT does.
Most schools don't have clear IP policies on sharing & reuse.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.
Solution:Develop, share and reuse Open Educational Resources
#1:School: Adopt clear & transparent copyright policies
BoTs can adapt our free off-the-shelf policy at resources.creativecommons.org.nz
This policy simply gives permission for teachers to share.
Cabinet encourages BoTs to take NZGOAL into account & use CC licensing when releasing resources
1. No need to ask permission
2. Keep resources when you leave
3. Teachers receive credit when their work is reused
4. Share your work on Pond.
#2:Teacher: Introduce finding, reusing and making open content into your 'workflow'
Bake in openness from the beginning by reusing open content
Here's the pitch:Creative Commons licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and you keep your copyright.
Here's the pitch:CC policies clarify IP at schools, while enabling sharing and collaboration.
