Our goal:“Universal access to research and education, full participation in culture.”

More free More restrictive

1. Free Licences

2. Projects

We argue:Publicly funded works should be held in common, to enable the active reuse of our common culture and knowledge

First (obvious) point:It's much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.

Second point:This means you cannot predict who will find your work useful.

Third point:There's more content than ever

(and it's easy to find & use).

Fifth point:Obvious potential to share a massive amount of educational resources for reuse

50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools

Enormous potential to savetime, money & frustration.

50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools

Sixth point:The legal barriers to

dissemination & reuse remain.

Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.

This means you legally need an exception or permission.

Exception = Fair Dealing (v limited)

Permission = Licence (CLNZ or CC)Or ask

Seventh point:Teachers don’t own copyright to resources they produce in

the course of their employment.

Eighth point:Most schools don't have clear IP policies on sharing & reuse.

Ninth point:As teachers and students share

online, copyright is going to become more of a problem.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.

Solution #1:School: Adopt clear & transparent copyright policies

Solution #2:Teacher: Introduce finding, reusing and making open content into your workflow

Here's the pitch:Creative Commons licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and you keep your copyright.

Here's the pitch:CC policies clarify IP at schools, while enabling sharing and collaboration.

1. No need to ask permission

2. Keep resources when you leave

3. Teachers receive credit when their work is reused

4. Make use of the N4L Portal.

“When I look outside at other schools, I think, why aren’t you doing this?”

Nathan Parker, Warrington School

“Teachers are collaborating more, and they’re also involving their students in the development of those teaching and

learning resources.”
