This presentation for Year 1 students in the Health Sciences Faculty forms the framework for a 2 hour workshop. It aims to educate them about Open Educational Resources, to develop their capacity to source appropriate material (especially images) on the World Wide Web, to raise an awareness of online copyright issues and to assist the students in understanding and respecting copyright laws. The link between health and human rights is used as the main topic for guiding students’ searches.

Hinweis der Redaktion
Exploring online resources and copyright issues
New ways of thinking in education linked to the affordances of the internet
Sharing a slab of chocolate with a student Each taking our half becomes a memorable, tasty experience. The chocolate is then consumed. While sharing knowledge empowers us by extending our own knowledge to new levels
Education is a human right that ought to be available to all, not just to those who can afford it. OER embraces a philosophy of sharing that enables teachers and learners to develop further through the contributions of others, and to share their own resources as a reciprocal option.
Most students in Higher Education are comfortable in the online environment yet they frequently are unaware of copyright terms and conditions.
This workshop brings new insights through promoting an understanding of OER combined with online searching tasks. Human rights education linked to health is incorporated as the main topic
The Student Guide for Year 1 students is a valuable resource for all students adjusting to their initial year at University. By June 2012, there were over 4100 clicks on the resource.
Let’s find it through the UCT OpenContent portal
What impression to the images make on the readers? Stacey Stent as the illustrator has made her illustration available to other users
The copyright enables us to use the text and images, share them with others as long as the use is in a similar manner of openness, however not to make any financial gain from the resource.
First class task is to find 3 answers. This can be a competitive task between rows of students
Another open resource that can be useful to the students as they learn about HIV. Stigma surrounding HIV is an important issue to understand.
Using this resource can improve students’ knowledge on HIV especially in terms of discrimination.
The YouTube clip offers a fresh perspective on OER from the Middle East
The Hewlett Foundation have been prominent funders in start-up of the Open Movement.
The traditional binary limitations of copyright were restrictive.
Alternative licensing systems are enabling through legal sharing and re-working of materials Creative Commons provides a range of options where some rights are reserved.
Licensing is shown in different ways
The different options give us more choices
The philosophy of OER offers opportunities to reuse, remix, redistribute, rework or revise resources
A range of options are available from very restrictive to open like Wikipaedia
Here is the licensing page online. To license this presentation we chose our options which includes not limiting others to make derivatives from this resource
The University of Cape Town is commited to this open philosophy. The Cape Town Declaration was signed in 2007 and the Berlin Declaration in 2011. New policies for OER are now emerging to guide our practice
The initiative is developing in different ways
Educators are encouraged to publish their resources in OpenContent For instance Matumo benefitted from her open publication when it was identified by international Occupational Therapists who translated the teaching module into Spanish. It contributed towards a paper in the Journal of Occupational Therapy of Galicia (TOG)
Connectivity is on the increase – very relevant for education
Numerous highly acclaimed Universities worldwide are embracing OER
Other resources such as videos originate from organizations such as TED and the Khan Academy
In 2012 the first ever Open Education Week happened internationally - UCT organized functions for educators and students
An OpenContent magazine has been launched
An OER blog is following trends and reflecting on the development of OER
Closed boxes are now opening up to release resources and ideas to others
We need to know how and where to find OER
Another way of looking at the resource sites
Now resources can be located beyond our own learning institutions
Because information and images are so readily available on the internet, there is a fuzzy assumption by many that free usage is allowed
Moral boundaries are valid online. Legal restrictions need to be sought out and respected.
Self-regulation is essential
Considering OER Knowledge – more information and resources are available. We need to understand copyright Empathy – respect for the author’s legal rights is imperative Reflection – as users we ought to check on ourselves that we are demonstrating transparency and accountability in our practice
Introducing the topic of human rights - a video clip as a reminder of the sections in the UDHR
Drawing on health and human rights pamphlets published in UCT OpenContent and on other sites such as UCT, School of Public Health and Family Medicine Work is submitted online – posted onto the Faculty Management System
Brief feedback as students are participating in the task
Frequently the sole user of an iPad
Constant awareness of Copyright issues is imperative
Change is inevitable as we engage with the networked, connected, globalized world. We can gain by tapping into the affordances offered by technology.
A question that we ought to continually be asking ourselves
