LLC – Open Licensing & OER Workshop
30th March 2018 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
A private event for the School of Literatures, Languages, & Cultures.
Learn how to locate and identify openly licensed materials online to use in your own teaching and presentations.
When using teaching materials that fall outside of the CLA and ERA licences provided by the University, OR placing teaching and presentation materials into an open environment, e.g. outside of the closed classroom and up onto the web, we need to ensure that we are using openly licensed materials AND that we are providing correct attribution (this is as important as being able to correctly cite a paper).
In this session we will cover:
- The differences between Open Access, Open Educational Resources, Copyright materials, and Licensed materials.
- How to identify openly licensed materials and which licences suit various type of usage.
- How to search on a variety of platforms for licensed materials (e.g. Google, Flickr, Vimeo, Wikimedia Commons).
- How to correctly attribute materials that you have used.
Stephanie (Charlie) Farley is our Open Educational Resources (OER) Advisor for Educational Design and Engagement. She provides the OER service and the Open.Ed website.
