Examples of OER in Continuing Education
by Krysta McNutt 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some examples of OERs being used in continuing education programs to include in a workshop I'm doing for contract instructors in the Faculty of Education (University of Alberta). Currently, we plan to feature: - Project Management open textbook <https://opentextbc.ca/projectmanagement/> (open textbook which directly aligns with industry accreditation and increases accessibility to the profession outside of professional associations and publications) - Project Management for IDs open textbook </> (co-creating with students to again, align with industry accreditation and increase accessibility) - ESL (English Second Language) CBL Level 5/6 open textbook <http://albertaoer.com/content/repository/item?uuid=19071e71-ab12-4184-bc03-…> (to share about how two institutions collaborated to create an open textbook for broad use in post-secondary, community, and professional education settings) - (in progress) "*Dental Community Education Package"* (to share about how the community can come together to equip emerging professionals, practicing professionals, and community educators with well-crafted, accessible educational material) If you have any examples of OER course materials used for non-credit continuing professional education programs (Language Arts, Business, Community Engagement, Information Technology, Art/Design, etc), I would love to hear about them!

Creative Commons Question
by Ross, Heather 10 Apr '18

10 Apr '18

I received the following email from our copyright office today. My initial thought is he can’t use it in the journal article, but I want to confirm this. Thank you. Hi Heather, A researcher with Geological Sciences named Jamal came in the other day to ask Kate some questions about a paper he would like to publish. We aren’t certain, but we think he wants to publish in a traditional (i.e., not open) geology journal. He has pictures from five different sources he would like to include. Four are third-party images from already published books are journal article. The last image is a creative commons image<http://ba.e-pics.ethz.ch/latelogin.jspx?records=:579552&r=1523389539059#152…> with a CC BY-SA 4.0<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/> licence. Because it is a CC share-alike licence, Kate would like to confirm with you if Jamal can use the image in the article if the entire article cannot be licenced CC BY-SA 4.0. Can the article be published with only the one image maintaining the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, and the rest of the article have the standard “all rights reserved” copyright protection? Thanks!
