Today’s session of BYU’s IPT 692R was a collaborative workshop day. The following are merely my contributions to the Google Doc, posted as per Dr. Wiley’s request:
Process
In order to notify faculty of open publishing, during the CTL design process faculty will be asked to sign the BYU OER Participation form. This form will:
- Describe the BYU OER project and the mission of CTL
- Acknowledge BYU ownership of IP produced by or in conjunction with CTL
- Explain CC By-NC-SA license
- Describe possible OER usage
Faculty who sign the BYU OER Participation form acknowledge the aforementioned and may choose to have their name (along with BYU and CTL) attributed to the OER. Faculty may opt out of attribution or not sign the form, however such refusal will not alter BYU’s ownership of CTL-produced IP or CTL’s ability to publish and share the CTL product as OER.
Technology
(The following is hypothesis only at this stage)
CTL OER products will be stored on a publicly accessible BYU OER web site (powered by Equella). The web site will:
- provide search features based on title, description, and other metadata
- list OER by topic or academic department
- attribute OER to BYU, CTL, and faculty contributor(s)
- demonstrate OER
- ? support direct linking to instances of OER
- support downloading of OER as modular packages
- ? provide source code or raw data of OER where applicable
- ? support community interaction by allowing user
- ? allow registered user commenting on OER
- ? allow registered user keyword tagging of OER
