The BC Commons license is similar to the Creative Commons license but limits sharing to the local context of BC’s public post-secondary system. Resources licensed via BC Commons are available to BC public post-secondary faculty and staff only. This option provides developers with an opportunity to experience sustainable development benefits through sharing on a local level, among peers, before considering the larger global context. Over 90% of OPDF developers have chosen the BC Commons license.

"Open: Accessibility [edit] Open educational resources are an internet phenomenon, because currently only the internet can offer the almost zero-cost and universal access that characterizes OER. OER are generally available for public use, without password-protection or registration requirements. Accessibility can also be used in the narrower sense of ensuring that OER are accessible to disabled users. A higher degree of openness concerning accessibility relates to the freedom to study the work and to apply knowledge acquired from it. Underdeveloped or poor infastructure also need to be considered when thinking about open access. [5] Teachers without boarders are attempting to address this issue in developing nations by partnering with centers where internet is publicly available. They encourage Teachers with access to share with those without access [6]"

Note BC's comment I highlighted on regional vs. global copyright and the kinds of decisions made my resource creators about which copyright option they chose. I think it's interesting and not so suprising that many went with the regional copyright option.

Hi Robert I agree that diametric between 'mass circulation' and regionally/culturally specific OERs is a real conflict. Maybe that's why OER like BCCampus free leearning (http://freelearning.bccampus.ca/) or the the Commons repository (literature and research devoted to Commons materials) work so much better than the mass produced ones.

Hello Ms. Unruh. Glad to get your DIIGO note. Are we going to be using Zotero at all. I haven't seen anything in it and it intrigues me.But of course we need a puprose. I will check the BCCCAmpus link soon -
I had no plans for Zotero, but I do like the program and can certainly start to integrate it. Give me some time this week to set up a group and figure out how to share it with the class.

More rantings for the OER course

Just looked through the freelearning.bcccampus.ca site and was underwhelmed. Many links pointed to resources already known to most such as Wikivestiy and Flat world project. The BC opencourseware link points to the Capilano University site which provided some resources but not anywhere near an exhaustive list. Since BC has been at the forefront of distance and online learning and this is the state of their QER offerings, I think this does not bode well for less progressive regions or Provinces that have less funding

After reading this blog post, critique a library web site near you (you can use University of Manitoba Libraries, or your own institutional library, or somewhere else). Are libraries repositories or referactories? Can you find examples of both (a library that is a repository, and a library that is referactory). Rant on your blog for this week.

Why are you interested in OERs? What can we do with them that we cannot do under our current system?

OERs, like blogs, wikis, podcasts, and other ideas and tools are daily blips in the long term trend of how we are interacting differently with information and with each other. OERs have not yet achieved divine status. I don’t think they will.

OER projects, unlike learning object initiatives, can accrue tangible benefits to educational institutions, such as student recruitment and marketing. Highlighting these benefits, it is argued, provides an opportunity to link OER initiatives to core institutional priorities. In addition to providing a possible route to financial sustainability, this characteristic of OER may help to foster the significant changes in practice and culture long sought by promoters of both learning objects and OERs.
