It talks about OER licensing, creative commons licensing

1. OER Licensing

2. What is Copyright
• A collection of exclusive rights, given
to creators and authors to protect
their original works
• Regarded as providing an incentive
for creativity to authors and creators
as well as a means of financial
compensation for their intellectual
property.

3. How to do OER
Licensing
• By default, copyright is automatic and ‘all
rights reserved’ -
• copyright holder has the exclusive right
for a certain period of time, after which
time the work enters the public domain.

4. Creative Commons
http://creativecommons.org/license
• Most developed alternative Licensing
approach : Larry Lassig
• User friendly licenses for digital
materials

5. Creative Commons

6. Creative Commons licenses
• CC licenses are not an alternative to
copyright. They enable creators to
distribute their content to a wide
audience and specify the manner in which
the work can be used while still
maintaining their copyright.
• CC aims to make copyright content more
‘active’ by ensuring that content can be
redeveloped easily.

7. Creative Commons licenses
• All CC licenses have common features:
– Help creators/licensors retain copyright while
allowing others to copy, distribute, and make some
uses of their work — at least non-commercially.
– Ensure licensors get the credit for their work.
– Work around the world and last as long as applicable
copyright lasts (because they are built on copyright).
• These common features serve as the baseline, on top of
which licensors can choose to grant additional
permissions

8. Creative Commons Conditions
Condition Explanation
Attribution
(BY)
All CC licenses require that others who use your work in
any way must attribute it – i.e. must reference the work,
giving you credit for it – the way you request, but not in a
way that suggests you endorse them or their use of the
work.
Non-
Commercial
(NC)
You let others copy, distribute, display, perform and
(unless you have chosen No Derivatives) modify and use
your work for any purpose other than commercially.
No Derivative
works (ND)
You let others copy, distribute, display and perform only
original copies of your work.
Share Alike
(SA)
You let others copy, distribute, display, perform and
modify your work, as long as they distribute any
modified work on the same terms.

9. What are open licenses?

10. Creative Commons: licenses

11. Source: http://zaidlearn.blogspot.in/

12. Creative Commons licenses (6)
• Attribution (CC-BY)
– This license lets others distribute, remix,
tweak, and build upon your work, even
commercially, as long as they credit you for
the original creation.
– This is the most accommodating of licenses
offered.
– It is recommended for maximum
dissemination and use of licensed materials.

13. Creative Commons licenses….
• Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA)
– This license lets others remix, tweak, and build
upon your work even for commercial purposes,
as long as they credit you and license their new
creations under the identical terms.
– Often compared to “copyleft” free and open
source software licenses.
– All new works based on yours will carry the same
license, so any derivatives will also allow
commercial use. This is the license used by
Wikipedia.

14. Example: BY-SA
• Published by
WikiEducator
• BY-SA
– With Attribution (BY)
– Share Alike (SA)

15. Creative Commons licenses….
• Attribution-No Derivatives (CC BY-
ND))
• allows for redistribution, commercial and non-
commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged
and in whole, with credit to you.

16. Creative Commons licenses….
• Attribution-Non Commercial (CC BY-NC)
lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your
work non-commercially, and although their
new works must also acknowledge you and
be non-commercial, they don’t have to
license their derivative works on the same
terms.

17. Example: NC
• Published by the UKOU
• CC-NC - Non-Commercial (may cover all costs but no
profit)

18. Creative Commons licenses….
• Attribution-NonCommercial-
ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)
• This license lets others remix, tweak, and
build upon your work non-commercially, as
long as they credit you and license their
new creations under the identical terms.

19. Creative Commons licenses….
• Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs
(CC BY-NC-ND)
• This license is the most restrictive, only
allowing others to download your
works and share them with others as
long as they credit you, but they can’t
change them in any way or use them
commercially.

20. Example: NC-ND
• Published by WIPO
• CC-NC-ND
– Free of charge
– Non-Commercial (may cover
all costs but no profit)
– No Derivatives (No editing)

21. Creative Commons Public Domain
• CC’s public domain enable authors and copyright
owners who want to dedicate their works to the
worldwide public domain to do so.
– The CC0 (“No Rights Reserved”) allows licensors to
waive all rights and place a work in the public domain.
– The Public Domain mark identifies a work that is free
of known copyright restrictions. It is not recommend
for works that are restricted by copyright laws in one
or more jurisdictions.

22. Issues while considering CC Licensing
• no registration required to license your work. All you need to
do is select a Creative Commons license and then display the
license information on your work.
• clearly spell out rights in terms of the materials that third
parties produce, including the possibility of subsequent use
and reuse by third parties. Policies may stipulate the
avoidance of third party, copyrighted material embedded in
the material that would otherwise limit its ability to be shared.
• If your work contains third-party (i.e. not created by you)
content (e.g. images, text, charts) and you wish to distribute
your work widely as an OER – whether in person, or
electronically or online – then you must undergo copyright
clearance to obtain permission for third-party content.

37. Curation of Open Educational
Resources

38. Curation of OER
• Content (or resource) curation : sorting through the
vast amounts of content on the web and
presenting the best resources in a meaningful and
organized way.
• In the context of a course, the content curator’s
(educator's) role is to identify the lesson
theme/topic, provide the context for the students,
and decide what content to present and how it
should be annotated. Another approach is to
empower your students to become content
curators themselves.

39. Curation of OER
• Content curation of OER comes in two
forms: simply curating links to third party
OER, or licensing curated OER to host on
your media property. OER curation involves
finding, organizing, annotating, and sharing
OER that is relevant to curator.

40. Curation of OER
•

41. Curation of OER
• Wordpress: free and open sources web software to
easily create a freely-hosted website.
• Scoop.it: latest news (and trends) and allows you to re-
share it with your social network. It has both free and
premium versions, and a curated content is presented
as a series of online magazines centered based on
selected topics. Usefully, Scoop.it empowers other
people to suggest you content to be added to your
pages too.

42. Curation of OER
• Pininterest: allows you to “pin” relevant images (with URLs) you find
on the web to random visually stimulating boards, or boards that carry a
specific theme (e.g. Maths). It has both free and premium versions.
• Evernote:connects your curated content across all the computers,
phones and tablets you use. It has both free and premium versions. You
can capture content in any environment using whatever device or
platform you find most convenient, and information is accessible and
searchable at any time, from anywhere.
•
• Tackk: makes it easy to create and customize web pages of curated
content. It also provides tools to Chat one-on-one or in groups with
friends and followers.

43. Curation of OER
• Pearltree: free, visual and collaborative library that lets you curate
content systematically. It lets you lay out your web content into trees,
which makes it an excellent tool for visual learners.
• Symbaloo: is a customizable start page tool that lets users add all their
most important links in a format that is easy to use. The user can drag and
drop items to organize them in a way that is convenient and practical.
The items, or tiles, can be searched so users can find those that are most
relevant to the items

48. Try Some Curation
• Please make an account on Pin interest
and/or Scoop it and curate some OER on
a selected topic of your field.

50. • Text
• Graphics
• Images
• Audio
• Animations
• Video
OER may be any one or combination of any of
these

51. • eXe - eLearning XHTML editor (eXe)
• An authoring environment
• to assist teachers in the design,
development and publishing of web-based
learning and teaching materials without
the need to become proficient in HTML or
complicated web-publishing applications.

52. • Many content management and learning
management systems do not provide an
intuitive WYSIWYG (What You See Is
What You Get) environment where
authors can see what their content will
look like in a browser when published
• eXe has been developed as an offline authoring
tool

53. Mind/Concept Mapping –
Free Mind
Free mind is an Open Source
Software widely used in making
mind/concept maps.

54. Uses of Free Mind
