  Some definitions • Intellectualproperty rights (IPR) are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds (usually for a set period of time). • Copyright is an area of IPR that covers the rights of authors of creative works. • A license is the permission, or authorisation, to re-use a copyrighted work. • A Creative Commons (CC) license is one of several open licenses that enable the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work. • By applying an open license to a copyrighted work, rights holders give permission for others to copy or change their work in ways that would otherwise infringe copyright law.

  What is anOER? An OER is a freely available and openly licensed digital resource. “OERs are digital resources that are used in the context of teaching and learning, which have been released by the copyright holder under an open licence (e.g. Creative Commons) permitting their use or re-purposing by others.”
• 5.
  What an OERis not? Open Access and Open Data • Open Access refers to publications released under an open license (e.g. open access journals). • Open Data refers to data that is freely available to use and republish. • OER specifically refers to using materials for teaching & learning released under an open license. Materials without stated copyright or open reuse license Materials available on the web without explicit copyright statement or open license shouldn’t be considered OERs. • The absence of a copyright statement does not necessarily mean that the material is free to use or adapt. • OERs should always display a license containing the terms of reuse.

  Edinburgh's OER vision 1.For the common good: Teaching and learning materials exchange to enrich the University and the sector; 2. Edinburgh at its best: Showcasing openly the highest quality learning and teaching; 3. Edinburgh’s treasures: Making available online a significant collection of unique learning materials available openly to Scotland, the UK and the world, promoting health and economic and cultural well- being.

  What our guidelinessay OER aligns with the University’s mission “Use, creation, and publication of OERs is consistent with the University’s reputation, values and mission to ‘Make a significant, sustainable and socially responsible contribution to Scotland, the UK and the world, promoting health and economic and cultural wellbeing.’” Everyday teaching & learning material exchange “It is expected that OERs used, created or published by individual staff and students will normally be single units or small collections [...] rather than whole courses.”

By AIGA [Public domain], via Wikimedia • Note down three short phrases or words that describe the things you have chosen. • Note: the purpose is to find things we can illustrate visually. • Feel free to discuss your thoughts on this week’s discussion board.

  A good ruleof thumb is to use the acronym TASL, which stands for Title, Author, Source, License: • Title - What is the name of the material? • Author - Who owns the material? • Source - Where can I find it? • License - How can I use it? • Lastly, is there anything else I should know before I use it? What attribution information do I need?

  The license tellsyou to be reasonable: “You may satisfy the conditions in (1) and (2) above in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means and context in which the Licensed Material is used. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy some or all of the conditions by retaining a copyright notice, or by providing a URI or hyperlink associated with the Licensed Material, if the copyright notice or webpage includes some or all of the required information.” There is no one right way; just make sure your attribution is reasonable and suited to the medium you're working with. That being said, you still have to include attribution requirements somehow, even if it's just a link to an About page that has that info. Don't make it too complicated Best practices for attribution by Creative Commons, licensed under CC BY 4.0

  Sharing OERs • Ensurethat the material is your own work, or contains only openly licensed work shared under the agreed terms. The copyright service will be able to help if you are unsure about copyright issues (copyright@ed.ac.uk) • Choose the most appropriate license for your material. Many platforms help you to choose and generate a license in the upload workflow (Media Hopper, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). The Creative Commons website license chooser is a useful tool for generating custom HTML license code: http://creativecommons.org/choose/. • The copyright owner(s), author(s), date and Creative Commons licence applied should be visibly attributed. The copyright owner will normally be the University of Edinburgh for OERs created at the University: © [Author Name], University of Edinburgh 2016 CC BY
