Open Educational Resources

Copyright in a digital age
The problem with using the internet as a resource is that while
most of the material online is easily accessible they are not necessarily openly licensed

Other educators can now discover then use or repurpose

Open education practices enable a culture of reuse

Produsage
• Goods are PROD-uced by the people who USE them
• “The collaborative and continuous building and extending of existing content in pursuit of further improvement” (Bruns, 2008)
• Not produced for capitalist sale, nor by governments for public good, but rather goods produced by and for the people who consume them

What we have learned
• Sharing OER requires more than simply a facility for sharing
• Requires change in academic practices
• Shift question from – ‘why should I share my educational content?’
to – ‘how can I stay in control of the process of my
educational content being shared?’ (Butcher, 2010)Butcher, N (2010) Open Educational Resources and Higher Education. http://oerworkshop.weebly.com/documents and papers.html‐ ‐
