20. Funding Models On average every course we publish costs us about $10,000 to $15,000. (MIT OCW)

21. Rights One of the most significant barriers to OER development is the need to obtain permission from the holders of the relevant intellectual property rights. (Committee for Economic Development, 2009)

22. Faculty Engagement The success of curricular resource strategies depends on faculty willingness to openly share their intellectual property by contributing it to open educational resource sites. (Bell, 2010)

23. Open Access

24. A Quick Definition “Open access is the principle that publicly funded research should be accessible online, for free, immediately after publication.”

25. University Environment Typically, when someone pays you to do work, copyright is transferred to the employer. Most universities have agreements stating that faculty own copyright in their scholarly works.

26. Publisher Agreements Academic authors traditionally transfer exclusive, full copyrights to the publishers of the journals in which their articles appear. Many disadvantages to this approach…

50. Rights Management Strategies

51. Lack of Copyright Knowledge 49% of authors have signed publishing agreements without understanding the terms. - OAKLaw National Survey of Australian Academic Authors

52. Unsure of Depositing Rights Over 50% of authors were unsure if they were allowed to self archive under past and recent publishing agreements. - OAKLaw National Survey of Australian Academic Authors

53. Finding Publisher Policies

54. Canadian Author Addendum Publishers require only permission to publish an article, not a wholesale transfer of copyright. Grant specific rights while holding back rights for yourself and others. http://www.carl-abrc.ca/projects/author/EngPubAgree.pdf

55. Creative Commons Licenses legally valid no charge prevents some uses of a work without permission, authorizes others.

56. Creative Commons Licenses Attribution Attribution Non-commercial Attribution No Derivatives Attribution Share Alike

57. Faculty Engagement

58. Collective Agreement We will regard a record of open access publication as evidence of service to the community, in evaluation of applications for faculty appointments, promotions and grants.

59. Institutional OA Policies Collective, university-wide action. Faculty agreements to retain author rights, and allow open access to intellectual output.
