The 5Rs of openness • 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
• Redistribute – the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others

Why open?• “Maintaining & building on institutional reputation globally;• Attracting new staff and students to institution – recruitment tool
for students and prospective employer partners;• Increased transparency and quality of learning materials;• Shares expertise efficiently within institutions;• Encourages high quality learning & teaching resources;• Supports modular course development;• Supports the altruistic notion that sharing knowledge is in line with
academic traditions and a good thing to do; • Likely to encourage review of curriculum, pedagogy and
assessment• Enhancing connections with external stakeholders by making
resources visible.” http://repository.jisc.ac.uk/265/2/goodintentionsbusinesscases.pdf, pp13-14

A quick and easy way to remember what information you need to include when reusing resources is by remembering an acronym: TASL. This stands for T(itle), A(uthor), S(ource), L(icense). TASL tells you what you need to include to ensure that you are appropriately acknowledging the source of the OER that you are using.

Open Educational Practice• Using OER puts a premium on good pedagogy
• Understand your ‘audience’• Select and curate• Think about how OER will be used – users,
context, links to other resources, support, rationale, links to assessment

Making and Sharing: Activity• Which of these motivations and “barriers”, if any, resonate with
your experiences and thoughts about remixing OER? • What might motivate you to share material you have created? • What challenges might you, or have you, faced? • How could you, or did you, overcome these? • Who could you ask for help or advice? • Could these challenges be addressed at the time of creating the
resource? • What kinds of information do you think it would be useful to
include with a resource?• What challenges or concerns do you have about releasing your
own material? • How could you mitigate/address these?
