Our goal:
“Universal access to research
and education, full participation
in culture.”
More free More restrictive

1. Free Licences
2. Projects
We argue:
Educational resources should be
shared openly, to enable anyone
to share, adapt and reuse
First (obvious) point:
It's much easier to share work for
collaboration and reuse.
This massively increases the
potential audience for (your)
educational resources
→ not just the teachers in your
school, area or email list
This means you cannot predict
who will find your work useful.
Media Text Hack
There's more content than ever
(and it's easy to find & use).

Copyright is very restrictive.
Automatic.
Applies online.
No 'c' required.
Lasts for 50 years after death.
Teachers don’t own copyright
to resources they produce in
the course of their employment
→ the BoT does.
Most schools don't have clear
IP policies on sharing & reuse.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVTWhat to Do?.
Solution:
Develop, share and reuse Open
Educational Resources
#1:
School: Adopt clear & transparent
copyright policies
BoTs can adapt our free off-the-shelf
policy at
resources.creativecommons.org.nz
This policy simply gives
permission for teachers to
share.
Cabinet encourages BoTs to take
NZGOAL into account & use CC
licensing when releasing
resources
1. No need to ask permission
2. Keep resources when you leave
3. Teachers receive credit when
their work is reused
4. Share your work on Pond.
#2:
Teacher: Introduce finding,
reusing and making open content
into your 'workflow'
Bake in openness from the
beginning by reusing open
content
Here's the pitch:
Creative Commons licences are
clear, simple, free, legally robust
and you keep your copyright.
Here's the pitch:
CC policies clarify IP at schools,
while enabling sharing and
collaboration.
