Remix and Share: Teaching Others to Navigate Copyright Issues in Open Education & Open Licensing Contexts

Abstract

Faculty and students creating or adapting openly licensed resources face numerous barriers in understanding how to appropriate handle third party works. I developed the EMLS Model (Evaluate, Mark, License, Share) and presentation “Creative Commons and OER in 30 Minutes” http://hdl.handle.net/10919/78393 for non-copyright expert colleagues who needed an efficient, clear, and memorable way to teach students, staff, and faculty who want to remix, openly licensed, and share content from multiple sources. The poster references the presentation but goes beyond it by reflecting on questions about knowledge and experience needed to deliver this sort of presentation, model transferable permission agreements, and utilization of fair use within openly licensed educational content.
