Definitions and Distinctions Open Educational Resources (OER) are defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as: “...teaching, learning and research materials in any medium – digital or otherwise – that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use, adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions.” (Source)

Editor's Notes
- Yes, there are a wide variety of authoring platforms and hosting repositories, but initially let’s not worry about those aspects that might make this process sound more mystifying than it is. Essentially, just create some form of learning material, whether it’s a video or a text document, give it an open license, and make it publicly available, for example, through YouTube, Google Docs, or an OER repository like OER Commons. That’s it; it can be that simple. Any learning object you’ve already created to supplement your teaching could be shared as OER.
- As soon as you create original content in a fixed medium, like text or video, you own the copyright to that work. You are not required to take additional steps to secure your copyright. When you decide to share content as OER, you still own the copyright—you are not required to give up an item to the public domain. By virtue of owning this intellectual property, you can set the parameters for how others may use it; you can require attribution as the creator, or you can protect your exclusive right to profit from the content. This is where open licensing tools such as Creative Commons licenses come in. A Creative Commons license does not replace your copyright. Instead this license sits on top of your copyright and grants certain permissions explicitly, so that would-be users do not have to request those permissions individually.
- Discussion of license elements and combinations – Clarify difference between CC0 and PD. You may apply CC0 to your OWN work to waive your copyright interests, essentially making your work “no rights reserved,” when copyright would otherwise still legally apply to the work. The PD symbol is only applied to works that are already free of known copyright and in the public domain throughout the world.
- When we combine existing materials, we may create a Collection or a Remix. The TV dinner here is a collection: a set of objects pulled together for a purpose, but remaining discrete objects that can be distinguished and separated. If you drop an open photo into your original text, you’ve made a collection, and you would simply cite the photo and its license. The smoothie, though, is a remix. We start with distinct components, then blend them together to the point that we cannot once again separate the smoothie into separate bananas and berries. If you take several open chapters on the same topic, mix together sentences and ideas from each, revised with your own original words and ideas, you eventually create a remix smoothie, where you can no longer clearly cite which words belong to each component work. When we create a remix like this, we are limited in how we can remix existing works based on their licenses, and there are implications for how we can license our resulting smoothie.
- Want to know if you can remix two existing works? Find their respective licenses on the x-axis and y-axis of this chart, and check the square where they intersect. If the two licenses intersect in a green check, those two works can be blended into a smoothie. If they intersect in a black x, they are not compatible fruit for smoothie-making.
- When you adapt an existing work, there are implications for how you can license the resulting derivative. If you were starting with content you knew you wanted to adapt, you would read the chart one way to see what end license to choose. We’re going to read the chart slightly backwards, since we already know where we want to end up with our license. The UNIV 1101/1301 book that is being developed is planned to be a BY-NC license, which means that existing works with BY and BY-NC licenses could be adapted in creating content for this new work.
- Caution: Even if SOME content in a repository is open, it may not ALL be open or may not all have the same license – it is critical to check the licensing permissions and restrictions on an individual item before reuse.
- Note: The preferred attribution format of a particular item or website may not perfectly match TASL guidelines. The first example above is recommended citation from Unsplash, but it does not include the item’s title or license.
