19. post production clearing... Authoring Clearing Editing Archiving With post-production clearing, the system gets clogged up and becomes less efficient Publishing Slide by: Peter Kleymeer CC BYCC BY: Regents of the University of Michigan

20. Pre-production clearing - stages Authoring + Clearing use content created locally from your institution choose 3rd party content from open sources that give explicit open licenses (or content that is in the public domain) document all 3rd party content with pertinent source information Slide by: Peter Kleymeer CC BYCC BY: Regents of the University of Michigan

21. Editing display a clear notice of how others may use your work (e.g. CC license) edit the resource to include 3rd party licenses and source citations Pre-production clearing - stages. Slide by: Peter Kleymeer CC BYCC BY: Regents of the University of Michigan

22. dScribe process is one method to verify that the resources are open

24. let’s generate OER :: ask the question - how can I (and others) use this content? : while searching for and generating content : while interacting with colleagues :: discover where to find openly licensed content : open content repositories : your colleagues & students :: create resources using openly licensed content : and other techniques for annotating content See PDF on how to create open content Slide by: Garin Fons CC BYCC BY: Regents of the University of Michigan

25. Where to find content for OER

40. Questions for discussion :: What resources do you have that could (easily?) be converted into OER? Are they any upcoming presentations or materials that could be designed as OER from the start? :: Considering access and connectivity constraints, what file formats, file sizes, etc. are best? :: Is there a quality assurance process after an OER module is finished to ensure that a material is reviewed for policy issues (e.g. dScribe)? Is the module also peer-reviewed for content? :: Once an OER module is finished and reviewed, where is it stored? Who uploads it to the server? What is the process for updating materials?
