freely and openly for anyone to use and under
some licenses to re-mix, improve and redistribute”
•learning content (courses & learning assets)
•tools (CMS)
•implementation resources (CC licensing)

How can we improve this process?
Intellectual Property concerns are an obstacle
•a mess to navigate
•a mess to legislate
•a mess to litigate
• U-M team members
• OCW Consortium
• ccLearn & Creative Commons
• U-M Copyright Office
• funders (Hewlett Foundation)
Hope lies in collaborators and supporters
Action items!
Faculty, Students can
do two things early on:
1. search for and use
more open content
2. cite the work on which
you build
Staff, Students can
help faculty / others:
1. promote search tools
and copyright education
2. remind all that academic
work should be of
publishable quality ==
attribution
Where do you begin?
You have already started by:
• showing up today
• exploring the open search and the CC
licenses and marking materials
You can continue to help by:
• learning the dScribe process and applying it
• educating yourself about copyright and
alternative licensing
