Talk:What is OER?

Joshuagay: /* NonCommercial Restrictions */

== NonCommercial Restrictions ==

SInce our goal is to promote and educate the world about OER, when getting into the details, we might want to introduce people to the debate over [[NonCommercial|NonCommercial restrictions]]. That is to say, there is a lot of controversy over whether "open educational resources" should include works licensed with noncommercial restrictions. We might want to point out on this page, or link to something in a footnote that this is a point of contention. We might even want to indicate that a work can be used for noncommercial purposes without explicitly having an NC-license. Lastly, we should help direct people toward the fact that it is unclear what "NC" means. --[[User:Joshuagay|Joshuagay]] ([[User talk:Joshuagay|talk]]) 19:27, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

NonCommercial

2012-07-19T19:25:30Z

Joshuagay:

Noncommercial or '''NC''' is one of the terms available in the Creative Commons license suite, present in the BY-NC, BY-NC-SA, and BY-NC-ND licenses.

The '''''[[Defining Noncommercial]]''''' study published in 2009 looks at how the online population understands "commercial" and "noncommercial" and contains some rules of thumb for licensors and licensees using or thinking about using licenses with the NC term.

'''As of late 2011, Creative Commons is working on version 4.0 of its license suite. Various options for addressing NC are under consideration. Please visit [[4.0/NonCommercial]].'''

What is OER?

Joshuagay: /* Table */ The table is only true if we excluse NonCommercial delimitations from Column 5

==What are Open Educational Resources (OER)?==

Open Education "...is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge."
<br/>—[http://www.hewlett.org/oer The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation]

"Open educational resources (OER) are learning materials that are freely available for use, remixing and redistribution." ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources Wikipedia article])

== OER Definitions ==

===[http://www.hewlett.org/programs/education-program/open-educational-resources The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation]===
"OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge." (p. 4 of the Hewlett OER Report - [http://www.hewlett.org/uploads/files/Hewlett_OER_report.pdf pdf])

===[http://creativecommons.org/education Creative Commons]===
"Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials in any medium that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others."

"digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students, and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning, and research. OER includes learning content, software tools to develop, use, and distribute content, and implementation resources such as open licences."

===[http://www.capetowndeclaration.org/read-the-declaration The Cape Town Open Education Declaration]===
"[O]pen educational resources should be freely shared through open licences which facilitate use, revision, translation, improvement and sharing by anyone. Resources should be published in formats that facilitate both use and editing, and that accommodate a diversity of technical platforms. Whenever possible, they should also be available in formats that are accessible to people with disabilities and people who do not yet have access to the Internet."

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources Wikipedia (Open Educational Resources)]===
"Open educational resources (OER) are digital materials that can be re-used for teaching, learning, research and more, made available free through open licenses, which allow uses of the materials that would not be easily permitted under copyright alone."

===[http://www.wikieducator.org/OER_Handbook/educator_version_one The Wikieducator OER Handbook]===
"The term "Open Educational Resource(s)" (OER) refers to educational resources (lesson plans, quizzes, syllabi, instructional modules, simulations, etc.) that are freely available for use, reuse, adaptation, and sharing."

===[http://www.oercommons.org/about#about-open-educational-resources OER Commons]===
"Open Educational Resources are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse, without charge. OER often have a Creative Commons or GNU license that state specifically how the material may be used, reused, adapted, and shared."
