This document provides an international perspective on open educational resources (OER). It discusses how the concept of intellectual property originated in the late 1960s rather than being based on natural law. Industries have existed for centuries without intellectual property protections, such as for car bodies, furniture, and clothing designs. The document also summarizes the history and purpose of copyright law through figures such as Queen Anne and President James Madison, noting it was intended to promote learning and progress rather than be considered a property right. Additionally, the Canadian Supreme Court has ruled that fair dealing provisions for copyright should be given a broad interpretation.
OERRH Data Report 2013-2015: Informal LearnersOER Hub
Â
In 2013 the Hewlett-funded OER Research Hub Project created a bank of survey questions to test eleven hypotheses related to the impact of OER use on teaching and learning. In the two years that followed, a number of bespoke surveys were designed and administered in collaboration with the Flipped Learning Network, Vital Signs, the Community Colleges Consortium for Open Educational Resources, OpenLearn, Saylor Academy, OpenStax, BCcampus, Siyavula, School of Open-P2PU and CoPILOT. Responses from each survey were then combined into a larger dataset to allow for comparison and in-depth examination.
The current report, first in a series of three, presents a frequencies analysis of responses from informal learners, i.e. those learners not registered on a course of study at an educational institution.
Challenges most frequently faced when using OER OEPScotland

This list of challenges most frequently faced when using OER is utilised as part of the OEPS Thinking about Open workshop.
The list originates from the work of the OER Hub into the impact of OER on educators and learners around the world.
This slide deck is part of the reusable pack of "Thinking About Open" workshop content that was developed by Beck Pitt and Bea de los Arcos as part of the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project.

"Thinking About Open is a half-day workshop exploring what openness and open educational practices are. The workshop aims to help instigate discussion at your organisation on how openness could make a difference to your own practices whilst acting as a springboard for further discussion on the practicalities of open practice. The workshop utilises a range of case studies and examples of openness to help facilitate discussion.
This workshop is aimed at anyone with an interest in finding out more about openness and how it can make a difference to their own practice." (Reference: https://oepscotland.org/events/workshops/)

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as âdistorted thinkingâ.

âScribes were "fully at ease [copying], which all antiquity was wont to allow. There were no copyright laws. The concept of copyright was utterly foreign to the ancient mind.âTom Harpur
Being Irish and an aristocrat, Columcille had never been especially comfortable with the word "no." Columba refused him. Finnian appealed to the High King of Ireland who gave the judgement, "To every cow its calf". Columba caused a battle to be fought against the King who was defeated with great slaughter. The saint was full of remorse and as penance went into exile and vowed never to set foot on Irish soil again. At a later date when he had to return to Ireland for a synod, Columba strapped sods of earth from his abbey in Iona to his feet, thus enabling him to keep his word. Diarmait's adverse judgment concerning the copy Columba had secretly made of St. Finnian's psalter. Columba is said to have supported by his prayers the men of the North who were fighting while Finnian did the same for Diarmait's men. The latter were defeated with a loss of three thousand.
Copyright isn't on a par with the right to life, liberty, fraternity and equality before the law. It's a privilege extended to us by our fellow citizens because they recognise the value they get out of our efforts.
