39. What to consider when creating an OER
• Check, do you have copyright permission to share all
the assets you include in the resource?
• Have you attributed and provided license details for
the resources used?
• Does the license on any of the resources you’ve used
impact how you will license your own work?
This is one description of the open education movement that I particularly like from OER Commons…

Copyright protects the rights of authors of creative works. You don't need to register copyright or put the copyright symbol on your work. Once you have created an original piece of work, be it a photograph, sound recording, painting, or paper, your rights as the author of that work are protected.
A licence is the permission or authorisation to re-use a copyrighted work. By applying a licence you aren't giving up your copyright, the work is still yours, what you are saying is how someone else can, and can not, re-use your work.
A CC BY licence allows anyone to re-mix, re-use & re-share, so long as attribution, or credit, is given to the author. This means you can take a picture, change it, put it on a mug, and sell it if you wish. A CC BY-SA, or ShareAlike licence, allows anyone to re-mix, re-use, & re-share, so long as credit is provided to the author and any new work is shared under the same licence. So we could take that picture, cut it up, put it in a collage, so long as the collage was also licensed CC BY-SA so that someone else could re-use and re-share the work. We call this copy-left.
A CC BY-ND, or Non-Derivative licence, means anyone can re-use & re-share the work, so long as credit is provided to the author, and no changes are made to the material. So that picture cannot be altered, we would need to use all of it, not just a section, but it can be incorporated into another work in its entirety. A CC BY-NC, or nonCommercial licence is trickier. The work can be re-used and remixed, and re-shared, but not used for a commercial purpose, and what counts as a commercial purpose can be hard to define. (click for notes 2)
The main aspect of ALL Creative Commons licenses is the BY (Attribution). Always ensure that the original creator is credited. You wouldn’t quote or cite a paper without proper attribution, don’t use someone’s resource without doing the same.
Here are three examples of attribution. We have a picture of a plate with iced cupcakes topped with a CC inside a circle. And here are three possible attributions. The first, or Good, attribution is how I prefer to do it. It has the title, the authors name and which platform the work is from, and the licence information. The title and the licence have been hyperlinked through to the source of the image and the source of the licence, but if we saw this on a poster where we couldn’t click on a link, there’s enough information here that we could go online ourselves and find the original image and the authors other works.
