3. HMM, DO I WANT TO SAVE MONEY FOR
STUDENTS?
DO I WANT TO GIVE THEM HIGH
QUALITY RESOURCES?
DO I WANT PREPARED STUDENTS
ENTERING MY COURSES?
DO I WANT STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO
REVIEW MATERIALS ONCE THE COURSE
IS OVER?
4. DO I WANT PROTECTION FROM
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT?
DO I WANT TO INCLUDE A VARIETY OF
FREE RESOURCES FOR BOTH VISUAL
AND AUDITORY LEARNERS?
IF SO, OER IN THE CLASSROOM IS FOR
ME.
HOWEVER, I MUST :
5. • BE PREPARED TO SPEND THE TIME
NEEDED TO FIND EACH RESOURCE
• RECOGNIZE THAT THE PERFECT FIT
MAY NOT BE THERE
• CHOOSE ONLY FROM OPEN
LICENSES AND PUBLIC DOMAIN
MATERIALS
• PROPERLY ATTRIBUTE SHARED
WORKS
6. • BE PREPARED TO FIND ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES IF MINE BECOME
OBSOLETE
IF I CHOOSE TO SHARE MY OWN WORK,
I MUST ALSO BE PREPARED TO:
• SPEND THE TIME TO LICENSE IT.
• UNDERSTAND THAT THE LICENSE IS
NON-REVOCABLE
WORTH IT? YES!
