01/26/10 01/26/10 Signal intent. Did you know that by default, the things you create are automatically copyrighted at the time of creation and others who want to copy, adapt, or build on your work need your permission, each time?
01/26/10 01/26/10 Signal intent. Copyright holders have the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following: Reproduce the work in whole or in part Prepare derivative works, such as translations, dramatizations, and musical arrangements Distribute copies of the work by sale, gift, rental, or loan Publicly display the work Publicly perform the work Image If you want people to use and build on your work, open licenses are a way to let others know, in simple language, how they can use it. For example, the M1 Anatomy Course has a comprehensive website, much of it is free to access, but All Rights Reserved. We’ve received requests from several partner institutions abroad who want to build on it, including multiple medical schools and the ministry of the health in Ethiopia. Since it’s All Rights Reserved, we need to negotiate a copy for each new institution.
01/26/10 01/26/10 When using an open license, you retain the copyright to your original work but give permission to others to copy and distribute your materials, provided they give you credit — and only on the conditions you specify. There are multiple open licenses that you can choose. We’re in the process of adding a license to the anatomy website now, which will remove the need to ask for permission each time while still acknowledging the authors and using it how in a way that they approve.

Creative Commons licenses are legal contracts, and have been upheld in court: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Case_Law
This is where open licenses address the gaps in our current system. As content creators, you take more control over how you want others to use and share your materials and you help other people do this by giving them permission ahead of time. Open sharing practices encourage the cycle of creativity, learning and ultimately innovation by allowing others to legally build upon each other’s work. In this way, we allow others to take control over the way they learn and what they learn, curating their own collections of materials and adapting those materials to suit their needs. Licensing provides even more opportunities for sharing and for using these materials in a variety of settings outside of the protected 4 walls of closed education systems allows for teaching and learning to happen formally and informally. Creative Commons are the most used licenses for content but there are software licenses (GNU) that can be used. Share online legally, throughout the world Choose how you would like to share Many of the license allow for adaptation You can choose how you want to share and easily show others how they can use your work. You take an active step toward sharing and making your materials more useful to others. “ Realizing the full potential of the internet — universal access to research, education, full participation in culture, and driving a new era of development, growth, and productivity.” ~Creative Commons mission
When creating new learning materials… Start now by making a small change in how you create your own content.
Public domain – 1923 clearest cut-off for U.S. works in public domain. For years 1923 – 1989 is a grey area, depending on whether work has copyright notice, was registered and/or renewed http://www.librarycopyright.net/digitalslider/ We build upon the work of others and make use of content whose rights are held by individuals, corporations, and organizations around the world. Respecting the copyright of those who we borrow and build from is an essential component of strengthening the culture of sharing. Why don’t we include seeking permission? That is only advisable if you have a connection to the author, as you can spend months waiting on permission.

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.
