16. OER are teaching, learning,
and research resources that
reside in the public domain or
have been released under an
open license that
permits their free use and
re-purposing by others.
Open educational resources include full courses,
course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming
videos, tests, software, and any other tools,
materials, or techniques used to support access to
knowledge.

17. 5Rs: The Powerful Rights of OER
• Make, own, and control your own copy of

• Adapt, adjust, modify, improve, or alter the
contentRevise
• Combine the original or revised content with
other OER to create something newRemix
• Share your copies of the original content,
revisions, or remixes with othersRedistribute

18. Technically it is easy to share.
Legally it is not so easy.
Creative Commons provides a solution …

25. Why Use Creative Commons in Education?
• Make better use of existing resources without
onerous permission seeking, complex decisions or
reporting (consider decision tree for copyright, vs. fair
dealing, vs. Creative Commons)
• Save faculty students, parents, & government time
and money
• Easily localize, translate, and update education
resources – higher quality
• Transform teachers and students into active creators
and producers of knowledge that persist
• Reuse, revision, remix and redistribution enable
pedagogic innovations – “open pedagogies”
• Leverages digital and the Internet

27. Open Access & Open Data
Open Science Logo by gemmerich CC BY-SA
Open Data Stickers by jwyg CC0

28. By “open access” to [peer-reviewed research
literature], we mean its free availability on
the public internet, permitting users to read,
download, copy, distribute, print, search, or
link to the full texts of these articles, crawl
them for indexing, pass them as data to
software, or use them for any other lawful
purpose.
There are two roads to OA:
1. the "golden road" of OA journal-publishing ,
where journals provide OA to their articles
(either by charging the author-institution for
refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead
of charging the user-institution for accessing
incoming articles, or by simply making their
online edition free for all)
2. the "green road" of OA self-archiving, where
authors provide OA to their own published
articles, by putting them up online or in an
institutional repository where all can access.

31. Open Data Stickers by jwyg CC0
Scientific research data made
publicly available. Can also
be data from government or
GLAM organizations.
• made available in convenient, modifiable, and
open formats that can be retrieved, downloaded,
indexed, and searched
• formats are machine-readable and structured to
allow automated processing
• made available to the widest range of users for
the widest range of purposes

Zipper by Paul Stacey

51. Intellectual property law is based
solely on economic efficiency and
incentives.
Explores rethinking IP law to
consider values beyond simply the
value of incentivizing production.
Recommends adding social and
cultural values. Consider people’s
capacity to participate in cultural
production, information’s role in
cultural and human flourishing.
Reorient intellectual property law to
promote a good life.
