Colombia, El Salvador, Uruguay: ABC of Copyright for Librarians
#schoolofopen
by project lead Maritza Sanchez
A CC grant made possible that since August 2013, three Creative
Commons chapters -Colombia, El Salvador and Uruguay- are working to
adapt an online course for librarians about copyright and with an eye on
the Open world.
The project aims to develop the necessary open educational resources
(OER) for an online course, self-taught and in Spanish, that will be
available through the School of Open, and eventually in the OER projects of the chapters developing the course (i.e. Internet Activa and Artica).
Why Basic Copyright Concepts for Librarians? It is not a secret that
many librarians and libraries in Latin America work with little or no
knowledge about the copyright frame. We want to offer this target group
and other related professionals (e.g. academic researchers, teachers,
OER developers, librarian students, archivists, museum workers, all
those interested on heritage conservation, etc.) the basic knowledge for
their work.
We believe that this knowledge is much needed right now and will also be
useful to promote CC licenses among librarians in the region.
The material in this course will be open as a self-guided course that
can be tapped on demand — individually, at a user-preferred time and
date. Moreover, the course can be harnessed as a group, from a
collective or specific institution, to be facilitated according to the
possibilities and conditions of a given community.
We are currently finalizing the legal and pedagogical review process of the last module of the course that we have titled, “ABC Copyright.”
The legal review ensures the strengthening of self-learning potential
of all students, while the pedagogical review is valuable to
contextualize accurately and clearly each module to Latin American
culture. We are also working on building a communication strategy which
will be essential once the course is published at the School of Open for
the dissemination to the audience of this open educational material. We
have already developed the graphic concept, which we share as a preview
in this post! We are at the stage of creating new graphic elements that
will complement some of the most complex issues and will make their
assimilation much easier.
We are working with love and energy so that very soon all those curious
and interested can learn, share and supplement the online course, ABC Copyright for Librarians in Latin America!
