Schools, colleges, and universities have closed their campuses and pivoted to remote instruction in a matter of weeks as the COVID-19 threat became a reality. Student’s lives are being disrupted not only by the adjustment to remote instruction but also due to job loss, family responsibilities, and healthcare needs. Commercial publishers are offering faculty and students one-time “free” instruction materials during the crisis in hopes of gaining new customers. Colleges are now facing big questions about their future including maintaining student enrollment, selecting instructional materials, managing faculty and staff costs, and even how the physical campus might be reconfigured. Join our panelists to hear how open education has made their campuses more resilient and continues to help with student equity including support for underrepresented populations and students with disabilities. You will hear strategies and talking points for helping stakeholders on your campus understand how open educational resources, prudent fair-use, and open educational practices (pedagogy) support both teaching and learning in the crisis and will continue to contain costs, address student needs, and inspire innovation for the future.

Educational Practices
Provide multiple means of representation: give learners
various ways of acquiring information and knowledge (text,
video, audio)
Provide multiple means of action and expression: provide
learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know
(essay, diagram, table, outline)
Provide multiple means of engagement: tap into learners'
interests, challenge them appropriately, and motivate them
to learn. (authentic, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation)

22. Copyright, Creative Commons Licenses, and
Open Educational Resources
Most educational materials are copyrighted by default - even things on the open
internet - books, articles, supplementary materials, photographs and illustrations
(almost everything created after 1924).
So you need either:
- A right to use under the law
- Public domain, fair use, or other exception
- A license or other permission
- Permission, an institutional license, a purchase, or a Creative Commons license (an open
copyright license

23. Evaluation No, I need
permission or a
license
Yes. Is there a
limitation in the
law?
Is this currently
protected by
copyright?
No, it’s not
protected.
Yes, fair use or
a specific
limitation or
exception
It’s an idea, not
a copyrighted
expression
It’s in the
public domain
because of
time or USG
work
Is there a CC
license?
Do I have
permission?
Do I have an
institutional license
Is there an implied
license?

24. 1. Are you doing something new or different (something
“transformative”) with the material?
AND
1. Is the amount you are using -- whether a part or the whole --
appropriate ?
If yes to both, it’s unlikely that you’ll be providing a “substitute” for the
copyright work in its intended market - which is the only pocketbook issue
relevant to fair use.
Fair Use: Two Core Questions

25. ● Subjecting works to critique and analysis
● Using works to illustrate arguments
● Copying works to promote accessibility
● Providing texts for language learning
● Promoting media literacy
● Developing new educational materials
● Employing “orphan works”
● And many more…
Examples of Fair Use in Action

26. A few examples include:
● Excerpting a passage for close reading (glossing,
discussion questions, language learning, etc)
● Including an image for illustration of a teaching point or
documentation of an historical event
● Including an image or a text from source material for
student activities or assesment
Relying on Fair Use to Create OER

27. Ask:
● What is my purpose?
● Is it transformative? (How is it different than the purpose of the
original?)
● Does it substitute in the market for the original?
Document:
● What’s excluded from the open license
● Identify the 3rd party materials
● What your reasoning was (doesn’t have to be in the resource
itself)
How to implement

28. ● Uses designed mainly to set a mood or grab attention
● Uses that aren’t proportionate
● Uses of commercial educational materials
