What is Literacy?
•'The ability to read and write'
•What is 'Digital' / 'IT' Literacy–'Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and create information using digital technology. It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used. '
•What is 'Intellectual Property' Literacy
–My term
What is Intellectual Property Literacy?
–'The ability to critically read and responsibly write in a networked community'
–'Critically read' – think for yourself … why?
–'Responsibily write' – why?
Two Initial Questions
•“How is the Internet going to change education?” (2000)
•How are new technologies going to change 'literacy'(2003)
Sharing
•Why do we share?
–One of the first things we teach our children
–Somewhere along the way we forget to share
–Sharing, building on the work of others, is central to education and our evolution
Creative Process vs Educational Process
They are Very Similar
They Build on What has come before
99% Perspiration 1% Inspiration
Education creates the pool of future creators
Traditional Economic and business models are challenged w.r.t. digital media where the cost of replication and distribution is ‘zero’
HK can’t build a knowledge economy by keeping knowledge or creativy scarce
How is the Internet going to change education
•Question bak in 2000 : MIT
•Answer: OpenCourseWare
6,000 High quality Courses
200 Institutions
http://www.ocwconsortium.org
Interesting Problem
•Not Form, but Function:
•Effective Teaching and Learning
•Compelling Content - Engaging, High Quality
•Relevant to the student, class and school
•Avoid ‘Reinventing the Wheel’ + ‘Allowing Local Variation’
Open vs 'Free'
• Free confusion
– Free as in price – 'free lunch'
– Free as in 'freedom'
• Open
– To whom, on what terms?
Responsible Writing
•Brief History
–Printing Press,
•Encourage Creativity and Writing–through 'Monopoly' Rights
–Role of Copyright
•Hong Kong Copyright Ordinance (cap 528)
•Duration – 50 years see details on IPD website
•Implied Business Model?
