Resources That Are Not OER

Examples

Digital Course Materials Provided to Your School That Do Not Carry an Open License

Instructional materials purchased by your state, school, or district from commercial publishers, while accessible and free to use by your educators and learners, are not OER.

  • ReadyGEN Digital Resources for English Language Arts
  • Great Minds Eureka Math Digital Resources
  • StudySync Digital Curriculum

Free Resources Found Online That Do Not �Carry An Open License

All the available resources on the web that you may have access to at no cost, but that are not in the public domain, or do not carry a Creative Commons license or other open license, are not OER.

  • Newsela
  • BrainPOP
  • Curriculum Pathways
  • PBS Learning Media

Openly Licensed Resources That Do Not �Allow for Adaptations

Some argue that unless an open license allows for adaptations (edits or refinements), then the resource is not truly OER. Under this rule, resources that are licensed as Creative Commons No Derivatives (ND) are not considered OER.

  • Open Access research journals that restrict users from adapting or modifying their articles through a Creative Commons No Derivatives (ND) license—e.g., Karger Open Access articles
  • TED Talk Videos, which are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs (CC BY-NC-ND)

Guiding Definition: Open Educational Practice (OEP)

OEP refers to collaborative teaching and learning practices that help educators to advance a culture of sharing�and active learning through OER.

  • Educators collaborating on the creation or curation�of OER with peers and with learners
  • Peer review of OER
  • Sharing of OER implementation experiences
  • Iterative curriculum improvement through�localizing and remixing of OER

Practice - Circle Back to Open Licensing

  • #GoOpenNC provides openly licensed materials for sharing and collaboration across NC
    • NCDPI also chose to host some legacy resources from NC LOR.

​

  • Let’s practice finding the licensing on a resource

Here are three examples - let’s see if you can find the correct license.

  • Tools 4 Teachers
  • Digital Public Library of America
  • NASA

Next Steps by July 25th:

1) Build your knowledge about open licensing and copyright: (10 mins)

  • Read and watch more about the CC licenses - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/
  • CC Blog entries from those in the field - https://creativecommons.org/blog/
  • Something else you found…

​

2) Participate in the community: Reply to the prompts and comment to others (10 mins)

    • Introductions - What is your name, content expertise, current role in education? If you could collaborate more with a specific set of educators, especially via this platform who would it be?

​

    • Reflect and engage

1) What was your previous experience with copyright and intellectual property prior to the webinar?

2) How did you previously allow use of your intellectual property?

3) How has your thought process changed? Please reference both the webinar and the extra resource you looked at.
