Background – Understanding OERs
The Internet as a public place?
What assumptions do you make about
what is appropriate?

Internet as a Public Place
Making material available on a publicly accessible web site implies permission to perform activities necessary to view it
Placing material on the internet does not imply the granting of permission to adapt, distribute or copy the work for other purposes
Misapprehension that the internet is somehow a gateway to the 'Public Domain‘
Benefits
“A positive student experience depends on having access to resources. Students and academics will benefit from this move to make more content available.”
David Sadler, Higher Education Academy Director of NetworksQuoted in JISC press release

Licensing OERs
Licensing is an essential part of OER process: goes beyond making content ‘only’ viewable to
the public
It embodies the full ethos of “openness”
Alternative legal frameworks have been devised by Legal Experts in area of new media

What are creative commons licences?
“Creative Commons is a non-profit organisation – founded 2001
making it easier for people to share their own and build upon the work of others
free licenses and other legal tools to mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry
CC provides free, easy-to-use legal tools (creativecommons.org)
“Their tools give everyone from individual creators to large companies and institutions a simple, standardised way to grant copyright permissions to their creative work.
The Creative Commons licenses enable people to easily change their copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.””
CC Licenses work alongside copyright
“Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. They work alongside copyright, so you can modify your copyright terms to best suit your needs.”
CC have a no rights reserved option
“For those creators wishing to opt out of the copyright altogether, Creative Commons helps them do so by providing tools that allow you to place your work as squarely as possible within the public domain — a “no rights reserved” alternative to copyright.”
Exponential Growth
2001Creative Commons founded.
2003Approximately 1 million licenses in use.
2004Estimated 4.7 million licensed works by the end of the year.
2005Estimated 20 million works.
Exponential Growth
2006Estimated 50 million licensed works.
2007Estimated 90 million licensed works.
2008Estimated 130 million CC licensed works. New Nine Inch Nails album released under CC.
2009Estimated 350 million CC licensed works. Wikipedia migrates to CC Attribution-ShareAlike as its main content license

Discoverability – Summary
Many sources for finding OERS
Some resources will appear in several places for maximum exposure
Differences exist between repositories, collaboration and learning platforms and search engines
Differences Degrees of openness or freedom
Use for own research and study Copy once for personal use Educational use only Use within own server or university walls Use by subscribers only – eg some image sources Non Commercial v commercial use Can’t use in web/online type publication Closed v open format types
Some sites offer a mix of access & avenues for contribution, collaboration, remixing
Differences Logins/Registration often on sites. Always check licenses attached to resources – can
vary too Some Peer Reviewed Coverage – institutional, national, international,
subject specific, for particular audience Different searching options Method of contribution varies Open CourseWare, Reusable Learning Objects,
Wiki artefacts, Powerpoint, Document etc
Exploration Activity One
Explore search engine or repositories of choice
Is there material available that could support learning objectives?
What are the positives and negatives that you experience?

Discoverability Tips - Images
Placing something on the internet for public access is not the same as permitting online published content to be copied, adapted or republished in an OER
Licenses attached to material must be read carefully and complied with – different requirements
Degrees of freedom Beware licenses granting permission for
‘educational purposes’ – may restrict use within a ‘closed environment’ only.
Discoverability Tips - Images
Locating copyright free images Sites claiming to provide copyright free images
almost always include a disclaimer regarding copyright status of images contained on site
No guarantee supplier is copyright owner Subscription based sites unlikely to permit
redistribution within OER which will be accessed by non subscribers
Discoverability Tips - Images
No License attached? Does the publisher own the copyright? – Do not
assume this! Do you have the right to (re)use it in the same way
within an OER? Who is the copyright holder? Some websites do not acknowledge third party
licensed images – Which license applies? Copyright protected images may have been included
without permission – This is an infringement which will lead to further infringement if copied

Citing, Referencing and Attributing OERS
When referencing or attributing UoN OERs - examples are provided in our OER terms of use
When referencing or attributing others - check their licence, legal code or terms of use for information
In the absence of any guidance: Creative Commons FAQ on topic
OER Re-UseLocalisation or Customisation
Many sites offer options and facilities for download
Adapting, modifying or remixing OERs to meet local teaching and learning needs
Wider than changing language or swapping photos
Adapt pedagogy, politics, geography, level, discipline
OER Re-UseLocalisation or Customisation
Is at the very heart of Open Educational Resources - exemplifying diversity, openness and reusability
Share back modifications made under same licence
Re-using or remixing OERs which include 3rd party material licensed under different terms to resource check terms of use/inclusion you may need to clear use on a similar basis yourself

OER Creation
What do you think the
issues are?
OER Creation - General Points
• Easier to avoid issues by creating from new and designing in openness from the beginning.
Repurposing material/content you have already will need fully sanitising – data protection, fully sourced and copyright cleared 3rd party material
Material you have repurposed for inclusion on VLE will need further repurposing for open publication
OER Creation - Using 3rd Party Materials (Images, Charts, Graphs, Tables, Maps, Quotes…)
Onus on institution to ensure images used have been lawfully included
Providing source information to avoid plagiarism is not enough
Lawful inclusion means using own, copyright free, copyright expired, copyright cleared, copyright licensed (with publisher agreement as appropriate) material. Steps to IPR clearance
Quoting from others “fair dealing” - insubstantial use
OER Creation - Using 3rd Party MaterialsQuotations – insubstantial use
No specific exemption in copyright, but case law suggests that insubstantial use is ok, if:
Less than 400 words of continuous text from a book.
Less than 800 words of discontinuous text from a book, providing no part is more than 300 words (remember this is qualitative as well as quantitative – so quoting one line giving away the murderer from a whodunnit book would very likely be viewed as copying a substantial part of the work).
OER Creation - Using 3rd Party Materials(Images, Charts, Graphs, Tables, Maps….)
Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4Best Practice: Avoid using, remove or use own Use those with Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA) or Public Domain
(PD) licence Can incorporate material with alternative licence Identify copyright owner, source and license with link if possible Include © or word “copyright” Make the terms of use clear to the user Un-licenced (CC or PD) material requires explicit clearance Document usage of all 3rd party materials and store in
accessible place
OER Publishing
Submit to Learning Team for inclusion in U-Now Exposure to Jorum Open, XPERT, OCW, OER Commons Statistics on number of hits (in U-Now) Greater changes of discoverability
Publish materials to web, on wiki, blog, slideshare and Licence appropriately
Submit to OER Commons Submit to OpenLearn If created by Xerte Online Toolkits select to
publish openly to XPERT
OER Publishing Licence Incompatibility
License incompatibility means:
content that is licensed under a particular license cannot be combined with content licensed under certain other licenses
a user might not be able to combine OER that come from different sources, even though both are "Open" Educational Resources.
authors publishing under an open licence to make them as widely accessible and as easily adaptable as possible may occasionally be thwarted in their aim
See the UNESCO licence incompatibility table for more info
