3. What is dScribe? dScribe, short for "digital and distributed scribes," is a participatory and collaborative model for creating open content. It brings together enrolled students, staff, faculty, and self-motivated learners to work together toward the common goal of creating content that is openly licensed and available to people throughout the world . It was first developed by students and faculty at the University of Michigan to leverage the interest and talent of students in working with faculty and staff to transform educational material into open educational resources (OER). The dScribe model encourages students, faculty, staff, and other interested individuals such as alumni and community members to get involved in not only creating open content, but also generating awareness about the benefits of creating and sharing educational content with a global learning community .

8. Getting started: dScribe Task List

10. 1. Introduction: Connect & Collaborate dScribe is fundamentally about the opportunity to collaborate with others to create open content. Perhaps you’re a group of students creating a project and want to ensure that others can take your work and adapt it. Or, maybe you’re a faculty member looking for students and staff to work with you as you strive to open your research and teaching material to a broader audience. Whether you’re a team of two or a group of eight, the first step in the dScribe process is to connect with others interested in working together.

12. “ Open Licenses”

13. There are many types...

14. Non-Software Licenses: Creative Commons GNU Free Documentation License Software Licenses: GPL Apache BSD

15. OER *mostly* uses Creative Commons Licenses

16. Creative Commons

18. Creative Commons: licenses

19. Public Domain All Rights Reserved Some rights reserved: a spectrum. least restrictive most restrictive

20. But...

21. OER Definition : “ Open educational resources are educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and under some licenses to re-mix, improve and redistribute .” Wikipedia: OER, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources

24. 3. Gather Resources During this step, the dScribe gathers all of the materials from a course/module intended for OER publication. This material may be transferred through a learning management system or removable media such as a USB drive. The material should be its native, editable format (e.g. .doc, .ppt rather than .pdf) so that the dScribe may edit it as needed.

25. 4. License Resources The most important step in creating open content is letting others know how you want them to use it. The easiest way to do this is to select a Creative Commons license for the material.

26. 5. Assess and Clear 6. Edit Materials It saves time if you do steps 5 & 6 together. It helps to have two windows open – one with the learning material and another with the method you’re using to record step 5.

27. 5. Assess and Clear This is the heart of the dScribe process. We build upon the work of others and make use of content whose rights are held by individuals, corporations, and organizations around the world. Respecting the copyright of those who we borrow and build from is an essential component of strengthening the culture of sharing.

28. 5. Assess and Clear Learning materials are multi-dimensional

29. 5. Assess and Clear Learning materials include lecture slides and other multimedia presentations, posters, handouts, readings, quizzes, class notes, and a host of other associated educational material used for instruction and learning. A content object refers to individual media items like photos, illustrations, recordings, text, equations, screenshots, and other such media that appear within learning materials. Every content object has a corresponding context image , i.e. an image of a single page or slide in a learning material, may contain one or more ‘content objects’ and surrounding text.

30. 5. Assess and Clear A learning material may have one Creative Commons license, but the content objects within come from different authors and have different permissions.

32. main policy considerations :: copyright : copyright law grants limited exclusive rights to authors of creative works :: p rivacy : the protection of patient and student privacy :: endorsement : avoiding the appearance of endorsing a 3 rd party

34. True or False: In order for an object to qualify for copyright protection, it must be marked with a (C) symbol False. See: The Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988 (BCIA).

35. True or false: A work must be published and registered in order to be granted copyright protection. False.

When you include footage of patients, you should refrain from showing their faces. Example text: The patients who appear in this programme freely gave their consent for the authors to use their images for educational purposes. Where real patients were filmed or photographed, we have not shown their faces or other identifiable features.

The "patients" who appear here are actually talented student-actors who have learned to portray common psychiatric disorders. Their identities are listed in the "Credits and Acknowledgments" link above.

52. This slide is inserted as the second slide/page of all Open.Michigan published materials. This shows our analysis of the content objects in the material. Knowing this may assist downstream users (especially those in other jurisdictions) in how they can and can not use a particular image or resource.

(Same format for CC Zero tag as the PD-SELF tag) Example If you’re going to claim fair use/practice for an object, it’s advised that there be some context for the object on the slide, such as the text in the middle of this slide. Again, fair use/fair practice differ by country, so it’s best to avoid this action, especially if you don’t have a copyright lawyer on your OER team.

61. 7. Review Materials 8. Publish Materials Once the OER is edited, the dScribe hands it over to the OER staff who reviews it for correct recommended actions for content objects and formatting (i.e. license, disclaimers, citations). Then the team contacts the content creator for the final review of their materials. Once the creator approves of the finished product, the team publishes and distributes the resource(s).
