8. OER: Definition
teaching, learning and research
materials in any medium, digital or
otherwise, that reside in the public
domain or have been released
under an open license that permits
no-cost access, use, adaptation
and redistribution by others with
no or limited restrictions. Open
licensing is built within the existing
framework of intellectual property
rights as defined by relevant
international conventions and
respects the authorship of the work.
9. What is “Open”?
It’s about open license used to share
educational material
Reuse
Revise
Remix
Redistribute
Retain
No permission required as long as the open
license is respected
10. Defining the "Open" in Open Content
Retain - the right to make, own, and control copies of the
content (e.g., download, duplicate, store, and manage)
Reuse - the right to use the content in a wide range of
ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group, on a website, in a
video)
Revise - the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the
content itself (e.g., translate the content into another
language)
Remix - the right to combine the original or revised
content with other open content to create something new
(e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup)
Redistribute - the right to share copies of the original
content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g.,
give a copy of the content to a friend)
