OEAwards2017 - Open Education Licensing Toolkit
- 1. OEL Project
- 2. OEL Toolkit Launch Professor Mark Brown Director of the National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL) Dublin City University
- 3. In this Presentation • Introduction to the Open Education Licensing (OEL) project • The OEL Toolkit Interactive Demo • Key Legal Issues
- 4. But, before starting… What does 'Open Educational Resource' mean to you?
- 6. Online education in Australia • 2012 – year of the MOOC • Australian teachers rely on educational statutory licences (in closed environments) • Australia has no Fair Use • © & licensing – critical challenge for sector • Meaning of ‘open’? • Need understanding of Open Licences – some more open than others! • OER – 5 Rs – more than just online access!
- 7. Copyright in Australia • Current Australian law less flexible than other jurisdictions • Purpose-based Fair Dealing / statutory educational licences • ALRC report on Copyright & the Digital Economy / Productivity Commission – recommend Fair Use • Exposure Draft 2016 – may simplify educational licences • Online education will still need Open Licences!
- 8. Expansion of MOOCs • Aust MOOCs / other ‘open’ course offerings steadily increasing • 7 Aust unis OERu partners • Business models differ • Experimenting with payment for add-ons (credit/online tutoring) • Commitment to Open Licensing for re-use?
- 9. ’Open’ at Australian universities Open MOOCs (P2Pu, OERu) edX Coursera Blackboard Coursesites Open2Study (OUA) Other (iTunes U, Edcast, Class2Go, Canvas, Future Learn, OpenLearning etc) No MOOCs MOOC platforms used by Australian universities 2014 Open MOOCs (P2Pu, OERu) edX Coursera Blackboard Coursesites Open2Study (OUA) Other (iTunes U, Edcast, Class2Go, Canvas, Future Learn, OpenLearning etc)

- 11. Open Education Licensing project • Joint Swinburne / University of Tasmania • 2 yr research & development • Funding from Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching Examining OEP in Australian unis Developing practical info / licensing tools
- 12. Project Plan • June 2015 – Surveyed 389 staff from 38 Aust universities – 33.9% response rate • Asked managers / teachers / info experts – Role of OEP in their institution – Current / planned ‘open’ activities – Platforms / licences used – Policy/strategic reasons – IP issues • 2016 – used responses to develop OEL Toolkit
- 15. Interesting findings • Concern about complexity of licensing • ‘Open’ doesn’t always allow re-use • If copyright too difficult, resources not developed or disseminated • Lack of knowledge around licensing • Policies still being developed
- 19. Toolkit issues – FD R&S

Editor's Notes
- 5Rs – retain, reuse, revise, remix, redistribute – David Wiley 2014
- Survey Results Current Open Offerings From 123 respondents: 73 (59%) from 24 Australian Universities answered that their institution currently offered ‘MOOCs and/or other forms of online courses available to anyone’. 41 (33%) from 17 Australian Universities answered that their institution currently offered ‘Openly available online videos/podcasts (e.g.. audio/video recordings of lectures’). 9 (7%) from 5 Australian Universities answered that their institution offered ‘Textbooks available online for free use by anyone’. Future Open Offerings From 120 respondents: 56 (47%) from 15 Australian Universities answered that their institution will offer ‘MOOCs and/or other forms of online courses available to anyone’ – a smaller response compared to current offerings. 35 (29%) from 17 Australian Universities answered that their institution will offer ‘Openly available online videos/podcasts (e.g.. audio/video recordings of lectures)’. 14 (12%) from 10 Australian Universities answered that their institution will offer ‘Textbooks available online for free use by anyone’- a slight increase compared to the response for what is currently offered. 106 (87%) respondents answered both questions..
- BEALE At the point when we were engaged to build the Toolkit, the project team had finished their surveys. The project team had identified many high quality resources that would be useful for people wishing to engage with OER. Our brief was to provide a means for guiding users to the most relevant resources for their case. We decided that a decision tree would be the best way to emulate the types of conversations between teaching staff and copyright experts. ---- TONY We went through an iterative design and development process We released versions of the Toolkit to invited groups of users to give us feedback along the way. You can see here in the screen shots the key stages of the development: The first is our flowchart, which represents the decision tree. It is a series of questions and answers along the many and various pathways a user could take. The second is an interactive wireframe that roughly simulated the basic functionality and layout of the web application. And the third is the web application implemented with styles and more advanced functionality.
- BEALE Website: Home Resources (case studies and continuum) etc Lead into tony viewing toolkit Into Scenario: Teaching staff member at an Australian university This person found an image online and wishes to use it in their online teaching This teacher intends to ask their students to download and modify the image, then share it publically The teacher wants to know whether there are any issues with this TONY: [demonstration] You can pause me at any time to ask questions Can access the Toolkit from the oel.edu.au The disclaimer basically says we’re giving guidance, not advice. Then you’re presented with helpful tips that most people ignore on the first time - The key tip is that a run through the Toolkit applies to one resource, otherwise too complex. Now we’re on the first question: given the scenario, we’ll click use. Teaching practices, not personal reasons, so No. We know that this person is using it for their employment, so this Yes. Employer: This is a particularly useful question. We got lots of positive comments about how relevant the guidance was from this question. So now I’ll open this up to you. Which Unis? Show Guidance Preview Link to the Copyright officer We haven’t defined the answer to this question in the scenario: Yes or No? (different paths). Let’s select Yes. [go with the flow] Guidance: All the guidance snippets are presented now, and categorised The teacher can expand whichever snippets are most relevant by reading the short titles. Media > Modifying PDF, take to copyright officer [following the demonstration] Today is a soft launch of the Toolkit. It’s nearing completion. In the following activities, you might like to refer to this Toolkit on your phone, tablet or laptop Just keep in mind there is still work to be done. The responsive interface so that it would be available on mobiles and tablets was only implemented last week. Accessibility Cross-browser (only tested on Chrome on Windows) Minor enhancements
