3.1. Wed - Evaluating & Attributing OER

Day's Objectives

  1. Add a Creative Commons license to your work

  2. Properly attribute OER resources

On Monday, you were introduced to Creative Commons (CC) licenses. Today, we will go a little deeper and distinguish the different CC licenses and learn how to combine them. You will learn how to select two or more resources with different Creative Commons licenses and know whether or not you can use them together and what Creative Commons license you can apply to the remixed work. You will also learn how to add a Creative Commons license to your own work.

CC licenses are a combination of these elements:

Attribution: Others can copy, distribute, perform and remix your work if they credit your name as specified by you.

No Derivatives: Others can only copy, distribute, or perform verbatim copies of your work.

Share Alike: Others can distribute your work only under a license identical to the one you have chosen for your work.

Non-Commercial: Others can copy, distribute, display, perform or remix your work but for non-commercial purposes only.

Serving as a Steward of OER

CARE Framework for OER Stewardship

The CARE Framework is a set of four practices which embody the shared values and vision for the future of education and learning.

  • Contribute - OER stewards actively contribute to efforts, whether financially or via in-kind contributions, to advance the awareness, improvement, and distribution of OER.

  • Attribute - OER stewards practice conspicuous attribution, ensuring that all who create or remix OER are properly and clearly credited for their contributions.

  • Release - OER stewards ensure OER can be released and used beyond the course and platform in which it was created or delivered.

  • Empower - OER stewards are inclusive and strive to meet the diverse needs of all learners, including by supporting the participation of new and non-traditional voices in OER creation and adoption.
