School Boards of Trustees encouraged to participate

Tertiary institutions encouraged to participate

Way for Boards of Trustees to require teachers and students to only use and create legally licenced material and resources

Way to stop creating a generation of ‘criminals’ downloading online content illegally

Way to encourage efficiencies, collaboration and resource sharing

Leads to creativity and new knowledge

Why?

Set an open data policy for your institution

students and teachers must only use licenced material in their course work

new curriculum resources created must be licenced for legal re-use

encourage collaboration and sharing of resources, not duplication and competition
