• DOL's TAACCCT SGA CC BY requirement.

• What is CC BY?

• What is Creative Commons? What does it do? How does it work?

• What are Open Educational Resources (OER)?

• How does the CC BY requirement and OER affect TAACCCT development?

• Where to find existing OER to use in your courses.

• Factors to consider when authoring and developing your own OER.

• Support services Creative Commons is providing DOL TAACCCT grantees.

• In order to further the goal of career training and education and encourage innovation in the development of new learning materials, as a condition of the receipt of a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant (“Grant”), the Grantee will be required to license to the public (not including the Federal Government) all work created with the support of the grant (“Work”) under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (“License”).

• This license allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the copyrighted work and requires such users to attribute the work in the manner specified by the Grantee. Notice of the License shall be affixed to the Work.

SGA Requirements

• Work that must be licensed under the CC BY includes both new content created with the grant funds and modifications made to pre-existing, grantee-owned content using grant funds.

• Only work that is developed by the grantee with the grant funds is required to be licensed under the CC BY license. Pre-existing copyrighted materials licensed to, or purchased by the grantee from third parties, including modifications of such materials, remain subject to the intellectual property rights the grantee receives under the terms of the particular license or purchase. In addition, works created by the grantee without grant funds do not fall under the CC BY license requirement.

• The Department will ensure that deliverables developed with these funds are publicly available.

CC BY grants the public permission to copy, distribute, perform, display, and build upon your work, as long as they give you credit for your work.

Credit is also known as attribution, and all CC licenses require attribution.

What are OER?

How do I find them?

How does CC BY and OERaffect TAACCCT work?

What should I do to make the authoring and development of TAACCCT OER go smoothly?

OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.

Open educational resources include full courses and supplemental resources such as textbooks, images, videos, animations, simulations, assessments, …

Core Concept

OER are learning materials freely available undera license that allows you to:

•Reuse•Revise•Remix•Redistribute

✓ Customization✓ Accessible versions✓ Translations✓ Evolution of resource over time✓ Affordable versions✓ Innovation✓ Discoverability

http://open4us.org/find-oer

Sourcing OER

Purpose

1. Share development costs of learning resources among institutions

2. Quality improvements through collaboration, visibility, creativity, and critical thinking

3. Save time and effort through the reusing and remixing of resources

4. Pedagogical innovations

5. Lower costs to students

6. Open accessibility of resources to previously excluded groups

7. New partnerships and market opportunities

“to ensure that materials developed with funds provided by these grants result in work that can be freely reused and improved by others.”

How does CC BY and OER affect TAACCCT work?

Realizing the Potential

1. Creating OER open policy

2. Sourcing OER

3. Evaluating OER

4. Reusing, revising, remixing OER

5. Designing OER

6. Authoring OER

7. Quality OER (academic, technical, pedagogical)

8. Technology & process for storage, curation, and distribution

9. Combining open content with “open” pedagogies

10. Promoting and marketing open to students

11. Putting in place inter-institutional OER frameworks and agreements

12. Leveraging OER by establishing downstream local, regional, national, and international partners & users

13. Measuring outcomes

✓ Understand CC licenses✓ Apply CC BY to your materials ✓ Find existing OER to use ✓ Attribute other CC-licensed works✓ Open policy✓ Universal Design for Learning and accessibility✓ Data-driven learning designs✓ Best practice in creating and managing OER
