Our goal:“Universal access to research and education, full participation in culture.”

1. Free Licences

2. Projects

We argue:Publicly funded works should be held in common, to enable the active reuse of our common culture and knowledge

First (obvious) point:It's much easier to share work for collaboration and reuse.

Second point:This means you cannot predict who will find your work useful.

MIT Reader Stories

“I am in-between post-docs and I am having difficulty obtaining journal access” –Post-doc, US

“I don’t have access to many articles due to … sanctions. … I really appreciate this policy of MIT that helped me a lot.” – Researcher, Middle East

“For a small, publicly funded …media like the one I direct…academic knowledge… can be quite time-consuming and often very expensive.”

Third point:There's more content than ever

(and it's easy to find & use).

Fifth point:Obvious potential to share a massive amount of educational resources for reuse

Enormous potential to savetime, money & frustration.

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.

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. Make use of the N4L Portal.

“Teachers are collaborating more, and they’re also involving their students in the development of those teaching and

learning resources.”

Mark Osborne, ASHS
