"I've been testing the alpha release of CaPRéT , a tool that aids attribution and tracking of openly licensed content from web sites. According to the Caprét website. When a user cuts and pastes text from a CaPRéT-enabled site: The user gets the text as originally cut, and if their application supports the pasted text will also automatically include attribution and licensing information.The OER site can also track what text was cut, allowing them to better understand how users are using their site." The attribution below was automatically added when I pasted in the text above. Interesting indeed and some good stuff happening in this space.

It should be seen as a set of un-processed perceptions rather than the product of a formal process; a great deal of ground is not scanned in this paper and it should be understood that no formal prioritisation process was undertaken. The CETIS Horizon Scan should be seen as a set of potentially-idiosyncratic "takes", material on which discourse and disputation may occur to make possible futures more clear.
