Many things have changed the course of our history
Slide 4
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

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!
