Hi everyone,
The New Zealand Government Open Access and Licensing framework (NZGOAL) approved by Cabinet in July 2010 invites school boards of trustees to familiarise themselves with NZGOAL and to license more of their copyright works under open content licenses.
Unique professional development opportunity for all kiwi teachers, managers and board of trustee members.
The Ministry of Education has provided support to the OER Foundation to host a dedicated group for New Zealand school teachers and board of trustee members to participate in a free online workshop dealing with copyright and open content licensing in a digital world, in accordance with recent developments of NZGOAL.
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 New Zealand educators.
Cheers
Wayne
About #OCL4ED
Sponsored by UNESCO, the course materials were developed as a collaborative project by volunteers from the OER Foundation, WikiEducator, the OpenCourseWare Consortium and Creative Commons. 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.
Of particular interest is the design approach which integrates OER materials within a Learning Management system. The course materials were developed collaboratively on on WIkiEducator but integrated into the local learning management system using features which the Ministry of Education have sponsored for reusable and portable content in New Zealand schools.
Please forward this notification to your relevant line managers to distribute the invitation. Registration details are provided below.
With kind regards
Wayne
