13. Two other significant OER bills in the state include:
● HB 3652 (2019): This bill requires the THECB to contract with a high-quality open educational resource repository to
develop and maintain a web portal customized to meet the needs of individual institutions of higher education,
students, and others who may benefit from access to open educational resources.
On September 1, 2020, the OERTX Repository launched. Created in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of
Knowledge Management in Education, OERTX is a public digital library of open educational resources for higher
education. It provides the ability for groups to create network hubs to share collections associated with a project or
organization.
● HB 3650 (2019): This bill amends existing law and requires agreements between school districts and public
institutions of higher education that provide dual credit programs to consider the use of free or low-cost open
educational resources in courses offered under the program.

21. Library Juice Academy
● Copyright and Open Licensing Issues course
○ https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/shop/course/264-copyright-and-open-licensing-
issues/
○ 4-week course, asynchronous with weekly deadlines
○ Similar material to CC Cert course but:
■ Specifically library-focused
■ More content on copyright exceptions such as Fair Use, the TEACH Act, and open license
options beyond CC
■ Less content on the specific intricacies of the CC licenses
○ Quizzes (ungraded), discussion forums, and one cumulative project-based
assignment
○ Registration open now for June course, does cost $$
○ Course materials still undergoing revision, but hope is to publish them openly soon!

22. Want more copyright?
● Copyright for Educators & Librarians
○ Asynchronous, run through Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/copyright-
for-education
○ Developed by top experts in the field
○ Entirely self-paced
○ Free or pay $ for a certificate
○ Mostly watching videos, doing readings, and taking quizzes
● Copyright for Multimedia
○ Also a Coursera course, similar to the above:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/copyright-for-multimedia

23. The One Course to Rule Them All?
● CopyrightX - http://ipxcourses.org/copyrightx/
○ Arguably the most comprehensive and legally rigorous copyright course you can
take for free
○ Run by the Harvard Law School, HarvardX, and the Berkman Klein Center for
Internet and Society
○ Arguably the closest to a “real” course
■ Weekly readings and videos - reading actual case law, time-intensive
■ Weekly synchronous lecture seminars (attendance required)
■ Comprehensive final exam - written analysis of several legal scenarios
○ Free and open to anyone, but must apply - enrollment is limited and admission is
extremely selective
○ Recent syllabi openly available online with links to reading materials
