  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.

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

This is just something to start (add?) to your planning for the final aggregation project. I'm going to continue to look for useful resources and will post as I find them.

  Absolutely. I'm not sure that the OE is _the_ answer to this issue, but I do like that it provides an alternate answer. The more people who have access to education the more those same people have an ability to change other structures/institutions (ideally, of course).

  I thought, perhaps erroneously, that the idea behind OERs was not to mandate sharing, but to make sharing possible. Right now the default is to not share. Even at MIT, I think, faculty contributions to the Open courses are optional. (I should check that).

I follow Steve Wheeler on Twitter. He's located in University of Plymouth and provides a British 'take' on OERs.

oer learning bccampus copyright

shared by Miriam Unruh on 07 Jun 10 - Cached

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.

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.
