Open Educational Resources Could the next cultural information revolution come from something as simple as the act of sharing?

Slide 5

Retain Re-Use Revise Re-Mix Re- Distribute - Retain the right to make, own, and control copies of the content - Reuse the right to use the content in a wide range of ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group, on a website, in a video) - Revise the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content into another language) - Remix the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup) - Redistribute the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend) The 5 Rs of Openness

Slide 6

By necessity, adult education teachers create vast amounts of materials, lessons, activities and other resources to help students succeed. And many of them are very willing to share! Stuff for Penny

Slide 7

Its all in the Licensing! Creative Commons A way to license copyright work for specific use by others. From most open to least open, each license spells out how the works can be used. CC licenses give both creator AND user the freedom to license work for others to use. Keep to the Green Zone

The compatibility challenge It seems only natural to assume that an OER with a CC license could be mixed with another OER using a CC license or alternative open content license like the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). However, this is not the case. For example: GNU Free Documentation License A CC license with a No-Derivatives restriction means that it cannot be remixed with other CC- licensed content because of the no-derivatives requirement; Different open content licenses may restrict remixing with other license types because of the specific licensing requirements for derivative works. For example, the GFDL requires that derivative works are released under precisely the same license, meaning the GFDL. (emphasis added) Therefore it is not legally permissible to mix-in GFDL content and release the derivative work under a CC BY-SA license, even though these licenses are similar in terms of the intent of the licenses. GFDL However, it is possible to release original works under a dual license, that is both a CC license and GFDL. (Note that this applies to original works, which are not derivative works, but dual licensing can facilitate greater flexibility for downstream remixing.) It is also possible to release a collection under their respective licenses, where the sub-sections can be clearly identified as discrete parts. In other words, part of the material is licensed with a CC license(s) and part GFDL, provided that the original terms of the respective licenses are adhered to. GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)

Slide 18

Discussion How do the levels of licensing impact our ability to talk about OERs with new users? How can we best frame a discussion about what an OER is, keeping in mind the levels of licensing, when discussing the topic with the field? In what ways do the levels of licensing challenge new users? Can you develop an 'elevator speech' to tell others about the value of OER?

Slide 19

So how does this work? I create my own original work with the intent of sharing it with others. I ensure all my materials are my original work OR they are licensed so I can share them (revise & remix) I clearly license my work with a Creative Commons license indicating exactly how others can use my work. I can then share it with others by handing them a copy, sharing it on a web site or OER repository. What does this mean for YOU? You can find my work, use it, revise it, remix it, and re- share it. (If I licensed it that way!)

Slide 20

Test Your Knowlege Understanding licensing takes practice. Lets see how well 20

Slide 21

Issue of Quality Consider Review RubricsReview Rubrics I dont want to create, where do I FIND them? Do they align to standards? (usually) What can be OER? Pretty much anything digital. Sounds too good to be true Whats The Catch?

Slide 22

How Do I Find Them? Google Search Well try it! Creative Commons Well try that too! YouTube Now have CC licensed videos! OER Repositories There are many! OTAN! We have online courses!

Slide 23

Lets Go! Creative Commons Find Licensed Content YouTube use their filters! OER Commons they have a category for Adult Education! Google Search! Use Advanced Features OER Commons OER Commons Google CC YouTube
