2. What is OER Why OER Creation Distribution Collaboration

4. What are the main features of OERs? “...educational materials and resources offered freely and openly for anyone to use and under some licenses to re-mix, improve and redistribute.” the content (courses & learning assets) the delivery (CMS) the use and reuse (CC licensing)

9. Goals of OER Equalize access to knowledge Impact teaching and learning Make these materials useful in developing countries Global shortage of healthcare workers Learn from their use and development outside the U.S. Sources: CC BY William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Presentation at University of Michigan, October 23, 2008 CC BY-SA OER Africa, http://www.oerafrica.org/Communities/OERAfrica_Home.aspx

10. What is OER Why OER Creation Distribution Collaboration

11. Cost Access to Faculty Scale Refresh Rate How it’s being done, elsewhere Traditional OCW publication model Staff Centric Challenges

12. how else can we do this?

13. goals: scalable sustainable participatory approach: automate and simplify a complex process leverage capacity of institutional technologies and talents dScribe publishing model

14. digital & distributed Scribes motivated students who: organize, clear, tag course materials are familiar with technology and software learn about intellectual property & copyright engage with content in new ways “dScribes”

15. dScribe Publishin g Process roles dScribe2 dScribe instructor faculty transfers course material to dScribe dScribe attends training course led by dScribe2 dScribe identifies & documents potential IP issues Class #1 Agenda: find dScribe for open.michi gan OER team reviews & clears IP issues clear IP BY: Garin Fons, Pieter Kleymeer characters by Ryan Junell dScribe makes necessary edits to course material Class #1 Agenda: find dScribe for open.michi gan faculty reviews material: publish to U-M OER site Class #1 Agenda: find dScribe for open.michi gan publish to OER site faculty & dScribe2 connect: license material as OER faculty & dScribe2 recruit dScribe

16. benefits to students: master course content learn about copyright and copyleft establish unique connection w/ faculty potential to get course credit collaborate w/ other dedicated classmates make resources available to underserved dScribe publication model

17. benefits to faculty: students in course know best! establishing unique connection w/ students quality assurance of materials obtain user feedback on content > improve content dScribe publication model

18. How can we use technology and historical data to streamline the process of determining copyright status? Computer Science Challenge 1

21. What action would you recommend for this object & why? Retain: Copyright Analysis –This is a basic graph. Data is not copyrightable. This is a basic representation of data containing no creative expression. If you and I both had this data, we could generate the same graph easily.

22. What action would you recommend for this object & why? Retain: Public Domain Federal government documents are in the public domain.

23. Ideas for improvement Predict action based on: Content type Historical data

24. How can we crowdsource the metadata/tagging of objects? Computer Science Challenge 2

25. Current

26. Future Possibility?

32. How can we build a federated search that includes other institutions’ OER repositories? Computer Science Challenge 4

33. Search what? Search where? Within an institution and its content hierarchies Across institutions with high bandwidth connections Across institutions with poor connections Search on? Metadata Automatically generated Manually added Full text Federated Search

36. Which software platform(s) do we use for remote collaboration and co-authoring of materials? Computer Science Challenge 5:

37. Email Teleconferencing Authoring Tools Wikis CMS Recommendations from audience? Remote collaboration
