Open isn’t just about finding and reusing the work of others, but also about developing and sharing new works to help grow a vibrant information commons. Creative Commons licenses are an important tool in the process of contributing to the body of open works. This session will put the current OER movement and Creative Commons licenses in context of the many other open movements and provide practical information about using CC licenses.
For many courses, OER already exist, but where to look for them? And when we find them will they look like what we expect? OER vary widely in format and quality. This session addresses the challenges of locating appropriate OER and suggests strategies for searching, evaluation, and attribution.
Openness is not an indisputable educational virtue, nor is openness the opposite of closed-ness. In this presentation, we will discuss critical lenses that can deepen our understanding of open education. Amy Collier will share how the concept of not-yetness, developed with her colleague Jen Ross in 2013, can embrace the complexity and boundary-crossing that happens in open education and help to create new approaches to openness.
This session is an opportunity for people working on similar projects to work in a shared space on developing their projects. They may work individually, but will have access to other people working on similar projects so they can brainstorm or get help/suggestions.
