Our goal:“Universal access to research and education, full participation in culture.”
More free More restrictive
1
1. Free Licences
2. Projects
We argue:Educational resources should be shared openly, to enable anyone to share, adapt and reuse
First (obvious) point:It's much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.
First (obvious) point:This massively increases the potential audience for (your) educational resources→ not just the teachers in your school, area or email list
Second point:This means you cannot predict who will find your work useful.

Third point:There's more content than ever
(and it's easy to find & use).

Fourth point:The technical barriers to access and reuse are dropping ('read-only' --> 'read-write')

Fifth point:Obvious potential to share a massive amount of educational resources for reuse
50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to savetime, money & frustration.
50,000+ teachers2,500+ schools
Enormous potential to share &collaborate.
Sixth point:The legal barriers to
dissemination & reuse remain.

Copyright is very restrictive. Automatic.Applies online.No 'c' required.Lasts for 50 years after death.
Seventh point:Teachers don’t own copyright to resources they produce in the course of their employment
→ the BoT does.
Eighth point:Most schools don't have clear IP policies on sharing & reuse.

https://flic.kr/p/8UAPVT What to Do?.
Solution:Develop, share and reuse Open Educational Resources
#1:School: Adopt clear & transparent copyright policies
#2:Teacher: Introduce finding, reusing and making open content into your 'workflow'
Here's the pitch:Creative Commons licences are clear, simple, free, legally robust and you keep your copyright.
Here's the pitch:CC policies clarify IP at schools, while enabling sharing and collaboration.

Cabinet encourages BoTs to take NZGOAL into account & use CC licensing when releasing resources
BoTs can adapt ASHS's free, CC licensed off-the-shelf policy.
This policy simply gives permission for teachers to share.
1. No need to ask permission
2. Keep resources when you leave
3. Teachers receive credit when their work is reused
4. Share your work on Pond.
“Teachers are collaborating more, and they’re also involving their students in the development of those teaching and
learning resources.”
Mark Osborne, ASHS
