Hi Everyone, The Open Content Licensing for Educators workshop is scheduled for 21 - 25 March 2011 and will be presented asynchronously. Participants will need approximately 1 hour per day which they can allocate according to their schedules. The workshop is free and we welcome participation from all educators world wide.
The New Zealand Ministry of Education is sponsoring a dedicated group within the course for New Zealand School teachers in relation to the New Zealand Government Open Access Licensing Framework approved by parliament last year. (In short - -New Zealand schools are invited to adopt open licensing policies.) As a result, we have implemented an *enrolment* key system for this course to facilitate specific group interests. - International participants and tertiary educators from New Zealand should use "oer" (lowercase without the quotations) - New Zealand school teachers and board of trustee members should use "oernz" (lowercase without the quotations.) *Register your seat today*. See: http://wikieducator.org/Open_content_licensing_for_educators/About This will not effect people who have already registered for the course, but provides a mechanism for us to deal with the unique issues surrounding NZGOAL, which may not be of interest to the international community. Cheers Wayne *About #OCL4ED* Sponsored by UNESCO, the course materials were developed as a collaborative project by volunteers from the OER Foundation<http://wikieducator.org/OERF:Home>, WikiEducator <http://wikieducator.org/Main_Page>, the OpenCourseWare Consortium <http://www.ocwconsortium.org/> and Creative Commons<http://creativecommons.org/>. The course will provide prerequisite knowledge required by educators to legally remix open education materials and help institutions to take informed decisions about open content licenses. We encourage all BOTs to consider adopting open content intellectual property policies at their schools and this workshop will provide you with the information you need to consider this important decision. Please forward this notification to your relevant line managers to distribute the invitation. Registration details are provided below.
