Encourage Content Reuse: Educate your users!
- Contact: Jane Park (janepark at creativecommons dot org)
- Team: Alison Jean Cole, P2PU; Delia Browne, P2PU; Jane Park, Creative Commons
Summary
There is a lack of education around openly licensed content and its associated freedoms--how to use, adapt, and remix content to realize the full collaborative potential that is enabled by Creative Commons licenses. This session will consist of discussion, collaboration, and creation of education for users of open content.
What do you want to achieve?
- P2PU & Creative Commons Reuse/Remix Guide -- We will discuss and collaborate on a reuse/remix guide to P2PU and other CC licensed resources, laying the foundation for a “reusable” template that other initiatives can customize to educate their own users.
- DIY License Tutorials -- Create pithy tutorials for the "open" subject of your choice, whether it's a particular CC license, OER in general, what is “open” anyway?, or P2PU-specific policy (why did P2PU choose CC BY-SA?) in the form of video, pictures, or design. ie. How would you explain open licensing to your mom?
Who should come? How many? For how long?
Anyone who wants to encourage better reuse of open resources or help improve education around CC licenses, including content providers, individual creators, and P2PU community members. As long as it takes to get the job done!
What will they do when they get there?
Discuss, collaborate, and create education around open content licensing, open content reuse, and why we're doing what we're doing.
What will you / they have at the end?
The building blocks and raw materials for creating a framework for OER about OER---in the form of open content reuse/remix guides, license tutorials, and short, funny, inspirational videos.
