In this workshop, members of the Open.Michigan initiative will teach you how to find openly licensed content and show you how to remix it to create new open educational resources (OER). Included will be an overview of copyright law and we will discuss how this applies to the creation and use of OER. Examples of OER use and reuse will illustrate how these resources can have an impact on local and international learning communities and how they have been used in specific contexts. Participants will also get a chance to generate examples of OER and learn how these resources can be accessed and adapted online. Please bring your laptop and some of your own learning materials or resources to this workshop and we will help you make it open on the spot. Examples of OER can be found at: http://ur1.ca/2lhe9 and http://ur1.ca/2lhei and http://ur1.ca/2lhij

5. “ Openly Licensed?” comes from the definition...

6. OER Definition : “ Open educational resources are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and − under some licenses − to remix, improve and redistribute.” Wikipedia: OER, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources

9. The difference between: Open Course Ware (OCW) and OER .

10. MIT OpenCourseWare, http://ocw.mit.edu/

11. OCW focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically to instruct a course OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license, whether or not it is a part of a course

12. OCW // OER - overlap OER OCW OCW, single images, general campus lectures, image collections, singular learning modules, paper or article syllabi, lecture notes, presentation slides, assignments, lecture videos - all related to a course

13. More about licenses later... Open Licenses make it all possible.

15. benefits of OER: for faculty

16. benefits of OER: for faculty recognition for their teaching publish and promote their resources connect with other collaborators extend their reach and visibility

17. benefits of OER: faculty perspective from University Ghana (UG) The U-M Medical and Dental schools collaborate with several African universities for health OER

18. faculty perspective from UG In their own words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_U9zyMZnpY (2 min)

20. Our mission is to help faculty, students, and staff maximize the impact of their creative and academic work by making it open and accessible to the public.

23. What does OER look like?

26. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtUsffmHH0o

33. “ Thanks! This may well help me to pass my tests tomorrow!  ” “ Thanks, this is a better explanation.. my teacher's powerpoint is not  so good  . ” “ This is great stuff - and a good break from just reading my book . ”

34. Open.Michigan Usage Stats for One Month: (12/4/10 – 1/3/11) 77% New Visitors 24% Return Visitors 4574 Total visits 129 Countries (US, China, India, UK, Canada are top 5)

35. So, what makes these OER ?

37. So, how do I create OER ?

39. It's easiest to create open content from the start.

40. Start now by making a small change in how you create your own content.

42. Pop quiz

43. True or False: In order for an object to qualify for copyright protection, it must be marked with a (C) symbol False. See: The Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988 (BCIA).

44. True or false: A work must be published and registered in order to be granted copyright protection. False.

45. End pop quiz

46. “ Open Licenses”

47. OER *mostly* uses Creative Commons Licenses

48. Creative Commons

50. OER Creative Commons: licenses

51. OER Creative Commons: licenses X X

52. Some rights reserved: a spectrum for OER least restrictive most restrictive Public Domain All Rights Reserved X X X

66. what if you want to make your *existing* work available as OER?

67. what types of third-party (i.e. created by someone other than you) objects might you have in your content?

68. what should you do with them?

69. possible actions :: retain : keep the content because it is licensed under an Open license or is in the public domain :: replace : you may want to replace content that is not Openly licensed (and thus not shareable) :: remove : you may need to remove content due to privacy, endorsement or copyright concerns

77. Are you looking for open content for a particular topic? If so, what topic? What types of materials are you seeking (e.g. images, videos, presentation slides, case studies)?

78. Here’s what you asked for: “ I am frequently looking for images to use in my presentations. I know how to use the Creative Commons search engine, but I never seem to find images that really work. Blogs that I read frequently use great images that have creative commons license, but I can never really seem to find what I'm looking for.” “ I’m a GSI for an interdisciplinary intro level science course. I'd like to be able to make our lab intros a little more exciting. So, w here I can find open learning materials on intro astronomy, geology, evolution, ecology and ecosystem ?

87. By making a small change in how you create your own content…

88. … and licensing your creations as OER …
