5. What are OER?
“OER are teaching, learning, and research
resources that reside in the public domain or have
been released under an intellectual property license
that permits their free use and re-purposing by
others.”

6. What are OER?
“Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type
of educational materials that are in the public
domain or introduced with an open license. The
nature of these open materials means that anyone
can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share
them.”

7. Reusability Paradox
The more context
a learning object
has, the more (and
the more easily) a
learner can learn
from it.
To make learning
objects maximally
reusable, learning
objects should
contain as little
context as possible.

8. “Therefore, pedagogical
effectiveness and potential for
reuse are completely at odds
with one another, unless the
end user is permitted to edit
the learning object.”

22. So how do I properly mark the CC stuff I use?

23. Attribution
1) If original has © include.
2) Cite the author's name, screen name, user identification, etc . It
is nice to link that name to the person's profile page, if such a page exists.

It is nice to link
the name or title directly to the original work.

33. Reading an Open Textbook
HTML – Universal, reading at length on web - meh
PDF – Print on Demand, cumbersome in eReader
ePub – standard still far from standard. Accessibility

34. Creating & Modifying Textbooks
Multiple input formats – major challenge
