2. Workshop objectives:
1. Provide an overview of open education along with specific
project examples
2. Provide information about copyright and open licensing,
along with hands-on activities to demonstrate how they
work
3. Help participants develop open education strategies,
including:
1. Creating a community of support for open education at your
institution;
2. Understanding important aspects of open policies;
3. Outlining an action plan appropriate to your situation

Open license is key.
