I&#8217;ve had a wonderful time. Reaching out to people across South Africa . Some who I know directly. Others who were on my Twitter time line (I was very pleased to meet). Others who are longtime ed techie \/ instructional design colleagues. I&#8217;ve met meet both groups and individual project leaders. Found out where these champions are, with their open efforts. Been looking at the outputs. On the whole, I must say I am hugely inspired, by the work I see.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Imagine a world where every single human being <em>on<\/em> Earth has free access to the sum of all human knowledge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conversations with champions, I&#8217;ve seen many possibilities. How they are entering a world with thousands of (other) creative and generous educators, designers, experts,  academics etc. This is a world where, with appropriate permissions, we can share and repurpose millions of digital works. That you can use completely,  as it suits your class or course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many have expressed high expectations for Open Education. I&#8217;m  hoping, that as we count down to the showcase event in Mid November (please pencil in the 16 November). That this last leg of the journey <strong>will<\/strong> be a positive learning experience for all of us us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A simple recipe for sharing  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OER (as you know) are &#8220;Educational materials of any kind (e.g., textbooks, worksheets, lesson plans, instructional videos, entire online courses, educational games) which can be freely used, adapted, and shared.\u201d (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/legal-affairs\/recommendation-open-educational-resources-oer\" target=\"_blank\">UNESCO<\/a>, 2022) What makes an OER an OPEN education resource is the license. Which explicitly gives the users a specific set of permissions. To use the resource. And the most commonly licensing framework is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Commons<\/a> (CC).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some projects have not explicitly selected a Creative Commons license. And placed it on their materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create a license for your work, simply follow these steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Bookmark-a-Website-on-Windows-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bookmark<\/a> the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Commons<\/a> homepage<\/strong>. I&#8217;d suggest that you find a way to remember important website addresses.

They have a &#8220;chooser&#8221; which will help you find out <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/about\/cclicenses\/\" target=\"_blank\">about Creative Commons licenses<\/a> . And which is right for you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Applying the chosen license to your OER<\/strong>. When you apply a CC license, you give permission to anyone to use your material for the full duration of applicable copyright and similar rights. This is a serious decision. If you have never licensed your work before. This may be a bit overwhelming. These <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FAQ <\/a>can help<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try it and tell us what license you&#8217;ve chosen <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like these blog posts have a CC licensed image (see above). and the whole blog is licensed as CC BY. I&#8217;m hoping that you will use the steps above to license your work openly.   If you are not familiar with copyright, permissions or Creative Commons. And found the above quiz a bit confusing.
