Was it worth it?
How important an issue was IPR impacting the success of their project?
– 89% of projects found it was somewhat, very or critically important
• 45% said it was critical
How helpful was support received from CASPER?
– 100% found CASPER’s support Very or Critically helpful
![Page 6: Jisc Casper Cetis Oer Meeting 270209](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54983f87ac7959482e8b54c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What recommendations would you now make to staff dealing with IPR issues?
“try and avoid it from outset “

Lessons Learnt
Wider context
– Balance between legitimate claims of content owners, creators and users
Lessons at the JISC level
– Put in place support infrastructures in advance of projects
Lessons at the cross-institutional level
– Getting buy in from multiple institutions and fulfilment of responsibilities is hard when licensing is involved
Lessons at the institutional level
– Conflicting and contradictory attitudes towards content creation, ownership and dissemination – who’s responsible?
– Are the workflows and infrastructure in place to support use and re-use?
Lessons at the departmental and academic level
– What can and should be made available? For what purposes? How long?

Lessons learnt
Public sector needs to get it’s own house in order
– Only 14% of Reproduce projects found it easy to clear rights from other UK universities
– 100% found it somewhat or very challenging to clear them from other Public sector organisations
– Rights status of content created and hosted by is often unclear – staff have moved, lack of policy, lack of documentation
• Gentleman’s agreements vs formal arrangements
– Generally an absence of clear rights statements especially around non-personal educational use
• Ambivalence and opposition to permission for use and re-use
– Universities will want to be paid to clear up rights issues
– Identifying people with responsibility and ability to grant permissions and make decisions

Lessons learnt
Lack of commonly accepted terminology and narrative
– What do we mean by re-purpose and re-use?
– What do we mean by open?
• BBC
• CETLs
– How do other academics feel about use and re-use of their materials?
And if we don’t how can we explain it to anyone else?
– Explaining to rights owners what projects were doing and how rights owners processed these responses
• ‘I presume this is a joke’
In 62.5% of cases where permission was refused it was due to the type of rights that were being sought

Lessons learnt
Are academic timetables and rights clearance timetables compatible?
– This is a time consuming and as a result costly exercise
– “All this on top of everything else”
How long did RePRODUCE projects spend on rights clearance:
– “About 10 hours”
– “Months of negotiations”
– “10 person weeks including identifying rights holders. This will increase as still chasing copyright”
– “Very hard to say state clearly as this wasn't monitored, from the start, by all the team members.”
– “Only really addressing this issue now”

Lessons Learnt
Is it enough to provide templates without additional support and expertise to adapt them for institutional needs?
– Model rights clearance letters seen as much more helpful than licences
• Are licences too ‘un-friendly’?
• Require some expertise and experience
– Some evidence that other materials provided were under used/ignored
• Either processes already in place
• Lack of engagement/record keeping of rights clearance
![Page 12: Jisc Casper Cetis Oer Meeting 270209](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54983f87ac7959482e8b54c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Lessons learnt
What advice would they give to JISC?
– Don’t fund the creation of content where use and re-use isn’t allowed
– Develop workflows that map the process an academic would undertake
– Work with institutions to ensure that there is much greater certainty about who can grant what to whom
– Provide more guidance on where to find resources that are in the public domain and don't require rights clearance.
– Develop subject specific copyright tools and consent forms e.g. medicine and healthcare
– Take the burden off projects and handle all IPR for JISC projects
• How many institutions can sustain this activity?

Are there implications for the Open Educational Resources Programme?
![Page 14: Jisc Casper Cetis Oer Meeting 270209](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54983f87ac7959482e8b54c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Implications for OER Programme?
There has never been a better time to stimulate and support the provision of freely available content
– Financial and economic crisis will mean significant cuts in institutional expenditure on licensed content
Provision of a critical mass of OER is absolutely essential for the widespread embedding of use and re-use
Putting in place the licensing requirements at the start and keeping variation to a minimum will be essential to long term success
Discoverability of those resources will be essential
Risk management and acceptance
Moral rights and acknowledgement of the content creators
Sustainability - how does one develop the communities of users around these resources that will keep them up to date, available and used
Use beyond HE? Schools can’t use Flickr, YouTube etc
