them.

Teaching Life:
Two Scenarios
Module One
Read | Watch:
• pp. 79-91 and pp. 102-111 in book 1
• pp. 22-47 in book 2
• article blah in courseware
• video X from Films on Demand
• pp. 83-95 in book 3 …
Module One
Read:
Chapters 1-4 in blah, but make sure
to note differences for the Canadian
context, to substitute ‘i’ for every
second ‘e’, and ignore the legalease
that pertains to the United States, ….

Copy

Copyright
By default, when a creator produces something,
it is locked down. Fair dealing provides/d some
wiggle room for educators, but rather than
continually balancing the six factors for fair
dealing why not just pivot left.
Copyleft | Creative Commons
Allows the creator to choose what future users can do
with the work. It puts the power and agency back in
the hands of the creator. Let’s take a closer look and
solidify Alan’s overview …

7. 7

Copyleft | Creative Commons
There is built in flexibility; creators choose if
users:
• Provide attribution
• Can adapt
• Able to share their adaptations
• Can use for commercial purposes
Educators make these simple choices and
Creative Commons generates the appropriate
and legal licence! Check it out.
It is quite easy, I bet you can easily decipher the
Creative Commons licences and their meaning.
Even easier when you are part of a team!

• When you use your favourite search
engine e.g., Google, Bing you will
99.9999% of the time have multiple
results – often in the millions
[Googlewhackblatt]
• Limiting your search to sites that
support Creative Commons, your pool
of resources will be smaller
• Either case - too much or less
information, we want to search them
most effectively and efficiently

The Conundrum

(quick)
Back to
Basics
Go to:

Point to ponder
Say, I wrote the definitive article on this
object | subject and referred to it as a “felt
tip pen”.
A keyword search using marker, sharpie, or
purple pen would never find this definitive
article on the object.

Stage two curation:
Creating Context and
community of inquiry
Stage one had us curating the best resources from the
overload of information available with an eye toward
open. Now, the more challenging aspect of curation,
crafting the context a.k.a. course design and
development a.k.a. telling a story!

YOUR CHALLENGE: Curate
for each phase
1. With colleagues (smaller break outs) in your shared discipline, choose a
core concept or skill
2. Use the resources in our extend.ecampusontario.ca – Spotlight on
Repositories, your own go-to sources, your imagine | coffee, and tech
tools
3. Curate a learning activity that has a resource suitable for each phase.
• A resource that TRIGGERS learners’ desire to know more
• Material that aids learners’ EXPLORATION
• Content to support the challenge to INTEGRATE new learning
• Prompt to REFLECT on the process or RESOLVE an issue

18. 18
My scenario
Learners need to review the ethics and history of surrogacy
TRIGGER: Quizlet – might just say “placeholder – build Quizlet”
EXPLORE: Harvard Justice
INTEGRATE: Flickr + CORE article + Margaret Somerville
REFLECT: Minute paper
Relieving the pressure: you get one
freebie – sort of

19. 19
Don’t struggle, ask for help!
“Hey Joanne, what was that tool that did that thing?”
Do challenge yourself to consider open!
“Hey Alan, what’s the best open site for a pic of X?”
Do keep inclusion front and centre e.g., accessible, something for
everyone | anyone!
“Hey Giulia, is there a quick activity I could add to Y?”
Do recognize there are other steps involved beyond this exploration
– assessment (see module), citing (see The Learning Portal)
Do share (link in module):
