Two things before I start => 1. scientix.euNatural sciences materials: free translation!

Whether or not a teaching resource is available for translation depends on the copyright conditions! Must be CC!

2. Sustainability & „e“ learning objectsSustainability of platforms: technological aspect

Isolated learning environment (Moodle) versus idea of sharing our materials via various (social) media channels

Sustainability of e-learning materials: legal aspect Copyright matters! => CC and OER!

Sustainability of digital materials: pedagogical aspect Usability See Benjamin Bloom‘s taxonomy of cognitive learning goals!

Only “Bloom low” or also “Bloom high”? Standards & competencies

Tim Berners Lee„Father“ of the WWW, wrote the „Hypertext Transfer

Protocol (HTTP)“, a code that enables the communication of servers and client computers

Very democratic approach: first focused mainly on sharing and cooperating (knowledge management)

„Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source, and so on.“

90s: Internet mainly for specialists!

Connections grew faster, broadband connected most households

Early 2000s: industry discovered the WWW => digital opportunities have exploded!

And today?Life has become more complicated for teachers when

they actively want to work with digital media!

In Austria several teachers and schools have been sued for copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement: lawyers have discovered this as new source of income! (cf. Marions Kochbuch!)
