Applying a Creative Commons license is usually quite simple. However, it can get complicated if the Creative Commons licenses are not compatible with each other. In this class session, we will work through a variety of activities so you will be confident in selecting an appropriate Creative Commons license once you start remixing and licensing your own OER material.

- Combining Creative Commons licenses

Activity 3: Participating in OER Week

Did you know that Open Education Week is next week (March 7 - 11, 2016)? The goal of Open Education Week is to raise awareness about free and open educational opportunities that exist for everyone, everywhere, right now. As participants in this Go Open, Go Free Using OER workshop, you have invested a lot of time and energy to learn more about OER and how you could potentially adopt it into your course. Now, we ask that you share your thoughts and experiences about OER and its impact on the future of education.

Next week, we will highlight each of you in a daily blog post in celebration of Open Education Week. To give you an idea, here are a few sample blog posts we have done in the past.

For your post, we will take a photo (or you can provide a headshot photo to us). Then, we ask that you respond to one (or two) of the following prompts:

What was your motivation for taking Go Open, Go Free workshop?
What have you learned so far in the Go Open, Go Free workshop?
Describe your experience in looking for an openly licensed item in your subject area.
What is your impression on the process of finding OER?
Why is OER important to the future of education?

You will notice that some of these questions are the same or very similar to reflections you have provided in previous weeks on the Laulima Forums. It is fine to reuse it again. Also, we do not expect lengthy responses - a paragraph is fine.

Please send your completed blog post to Leanne a day prior to the day you signed-up for as shown in this Google Doc.
