• “I think 50% of what OER is about is the social networking and the promoting of content for a project like mine.
• This could be a model for sustainability.
• Both direct and indirect benefits.
• Multiple repositories means multiple tweets.
• Good networking broadens your content.”

Open Educational Practices
The four Rs of OER in teaching & learning:
Reuse – Use the work verbatim, just exactly as you found it
Rework – Alter or transform the work so that it better meets your needs
Remix – Combine the (verbatim or altered work) with other works to better meet your needs
Redistribute – Share the verbatim work, the reworked work, or the remixed work with others

Self-archiving of OER
• Developing OER for EAP based on Open Access publications
– Research-led teaching of EAP
– Access to specific discourse communities and peer-review
• A function-first approach to identifying formulaic language (Durrant, P. & Mathews-Aydinh, J., 2010)
• Uploading OER for EAP in multiple repositories
– Learning objects from teaching fellows
OER Development I
For Teachers, individually and collectively, OER make it possible for them to:
Create courses more efficiently and/or effectively, particularly using rich media resources that require advanced technical and media skills;
Investigate the ways in which others have taught their subject;
Create resources or courses in collaboration with others rather than doing it all themselves;
Join in communities of practice which help improve their teaching practices as they reflect on the community use of new open tools and technologies;
Customise & adapt resources by repurposing & remixing them.
OER Evaluation Task
Consider how you might use/re-use the following OER for EAP instruction.
– 1. Guidelines for Writing at Masters Degree Level (Ursula Wingate, King’s College London)
http://resources.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/2963
– 2. Achieving Public Dialogue (The OU) http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/958
– 3. Grammar and Academic Style for EAP (Emmanuel Godin, University of Portsmouth) http://humbox.ac.uk/1526/

OER Development II
For educational institutions OER offers opportunities to:
Showcase their teaching and research programmes to wider audiences;
Widen the pool of applicants for their courses and programmes;
Lower the lifetime costs of developing educational resources;
Collaborate with public and commercial organisations in new ways, including educational practitioners;
Extend their outreach activities

Lichôdmapwa v. Théâtre de Spa Court of First Instance Nivelles
(Tribunal de Première Instance Nivelles) 26 October 2010
A Belgian band uploaded some songs on a freely
accessible website under a non-commercial and no
derivatives Creative Commons license. A Belgian
theatre used one of the songs to create an
advertisement for the next theatrical season, which was
broadcasted on several national radios channels. The
Court found that the theatre did not respect the
license and consequently granted indemnities to
the band.

Licensing Scenarios
Group/pair work:
Read and discuss the licensing scenarios as they would apply to your teaching and materials development practice.
Scenario 1
I’ve found six images on the web for use in my course-related DVD and the resolutions are fine. However, they are available under a Creative Commons, Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share-Alike licence. This clearance is fine for my initial use for staff and students, but we would probably eventually hope to sell the course. Should I not bother with these images?
Scenario 2
We are producing a teacher training unit on teaching English to young learners for our open educational resource area. A colleague from the English Language Centre at our university has provided some lovely images of her children she took while on holiday. I’m assuming because the colleague is a university member of staff these images she has given us will be OK to use in our open educational resources area?
Scenario 3
I’ve found an article by Diane Nation on the web and this would be brilliant for my learning object intended for open use. I’ve tried to contact Ms Nation twice and have been in touch with the web master of the site to see if s/he can help but have had no response so far. I’ve amended the article, as I didn’t agree with some of the points she was making. I think I’ve improved the work actually and I’ve obviously left her acknowledged as the author. As I’ve had no response I’m just going to use it anyway. Everyone’s always talking about risk so I’ll take one. Is this OK?
Scenario 4
My institution has an online open learning resource and is based in the UK. We have selected an England and Wales UK licence for the use of our content. However, a user in China has asked us if the CC licence still applies? Does the CC licence refer to where the content is being used or where it is hosted?
Scenario 5
I have some software I would like to make available under a CC licence – would that be OK?
Scenario 6
My institution is making some of its content available under a CC licence. How do we ensure that our trademarks/logos are protected?
