“Openly Licensed?”
comes from the definition...
OER Definition:
“Open educational resources are educational
materials and resources offered freely and openly
for anyone to use and − under some licenses − to
remix, improve and redistribute.”
Wikipedia: OER, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources

What types of materials can
become OER?
• Classroom Materials: including lecture
presentations, reading lists, syllabi, etc.
• Websites
• Videos
• Image Collections
• Software
• Textbooks
• Blog postings
The difference between:
Open Course Ware (OCW) and OER.
MIT OpenCourseWare, http://ocw.mit.edu/
OCW focuses on sharing open content that is
developed specifically to instruct a course
OER includes any educational content that is shared
under an open license, whether or not it is a part of
a course
OCW // OER - overlap
OER
OCW, single images,
general campus
lectures, image
collections, singular
learning modules,
paper or article
OCW
syllabi, lecture
notes, presentation
slides, assignments,
lecture videos - all
related to a course
Open Licenses make it all possible.

tomorrow!
”
“Thanks, this is a better explanation.. my teacher's
powerpoint is not
so good
.”
“This is great stuff - and a good break from just
reading my book.”

Are you looking for open content
for a particular topic?
If so, what topic?
What types of materials are you
seeking (e.g. images, videos,
presentation slides, case studies)?
Here’s what you asked for:
“I am frequently looking for images to use in my
presentations. I know how to use the Creative
Commons search engine, but I never seem to find
images that really work. Blogs that I read frequently use
great images that have creative commons license, but I
can never really seem to find what I'm looking for.”
“I’m a GSI for an interdisciplinary intro level science
course. I'd like to be able to make our lab intros a little
more exciting. So, where I can find open learning
materials on intro astronomy, geology, evolution, ecology
and ecosystem ?

closing remarks
It's easiest to create open
content from the start.
By making a small change
in how you create your
own content…
…and licensing your
creations as OER…
…you can gain
recognition, publish and
promote your research and
teaching materials,
connect with collaborators,
and preserve and apply
knowledge.
