Open content licensing for educators workshop activity: Fair and reasonable practice survey
This open survey activity forms part of the open content licensing for educators free workshop (OCL4Ed 2012.06).  

In this activity, we ask you to share your thoughts and opinions about what permissions you consider fair and reasonable with regard to sharing teaching materials. This is an anonymous survey to gauge current knowledge and personal views about intellectual property rights and copyright in education. As educators we believe that it is better to start with a reflection on the permissions we feel are acceptable before grappling with the complexities of intellectual property rights.  Your feedback will assist your facilitators in supporting your learning in this course.

(The survey is optional and we do not collect any personal information -unless you opt to provide this in the open question. The results of the survey are aggregated for the benefit of course participants and OER practitioners. Data collected from the survey is released under a Creative Commons Attribution License for the benefit of OER practitioners and researchers around the world and will be published as open access data on the web. For more information email info@oerfoundation.org.)

There are 33 questions and it will take you approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete this online survey. We thank you for your contribution to the global OER community.
