OER in a nutshellOER is about creating repositories of material which are free to: Access Use Modify Share 7

OER in a nutshellYou can do more with OER as compared with traditional copyright material 8

Compliance and Cost Issues• New technologies facilitate access to and storage and sharing of copyright materials.• This makes copyright a serious issue for the education sector as it must: – Ensure systems, teachers and students comply with copyright law – Manage increasing cost implications• Eg schools paid c.$80m in 2010 for sector-wide licences (more on direct licences & own content) 10

Compliance and Cost Issues• Current to pay to copy/save freely and publicly available internet content, under the compulsory statutory licence (CAL and Screenrights)• Current sector-wide licences & statutory exceptions do not necessarily sit well with the current ICT use in education: – content may not be modified – content cannot be shared widely (eg with parents, community, other schools) – Limit on how much you can copy/communicate 11

Website terms and conditionsWebsite terms and conditions can be unclear and confusing…or absent entirely ….meaning the intention of the website publisher with regards to educational use of their site is unknown. 12
