Local Materials + Open Licenses = Greater Access, Visibility, and Use of Knowledge Worldwide
Before you share something publicly, you have to consider some things. Especially if you’re using your institutional branding, things have to be done legally. This includes reviewing materials for copyright, privacy, and product endorsement before you make it available to others online.
Throughout our experience with OER – whether on campus in Michigan or our international collaborations, we have shared our resources, lessons, and results – all under open licenses. We’ve found OER and open licenses to be an effective tool to support collaboration, active participation, and transparency in education efforts on campus and with our international partners. Thank you for your attention. We have also established ourselves as a national model for OER production and alongside our local community engagement efforts, we've participated in conferences and other activities that support the development of open educational practices. We're a sustaining member of the OpenCourseWare Consortium and former Open.Michigan team members have gone on to work for Creative Commons, manage ISKME's OER Commons, Wikipedia, and work for Microsoft Research.
