cogdog on I might not refer to making Open Educational Resources (OERs) as “easier” but it is more familiar to educators than the idea of creating Assignments that are not “disposable”. David Wiley described the term “disposable assignments” in a 2013 post on Open Pedagogy. It’s a brilliant approach to talk to educators about designing open materials, […]
cogdog on In a presentation last Friday at the 2016 Open Education Conference Paul Stacey and I described the Certification project as “Massive Open OER Development.” MOOD? People who know me know how much I think of acronyms that start with M-O-0… (that was meant to be wry humor) Hearing about @creativecommons ‘certificate’ prog – awesomeness with […]

There is, of course, much material out there to explain, demonstrate, and help people learn about copyright, fair use, the public domain, […]

In that meeting we worked from a Draft 1.1 version developed in May 2015 by a Creative Commons team, represented in a spreadsheet […]
cogdog on Yes, you. That’s who I am talking too. I put out this idea a few weeks ago asking people to do an imagination exercise to tell us first what place a Creative Commons Certification might have for them, and how they might envision such a thing working. To me, it’s an interesting approach in this […]
cogdog on We are asking everyone (yes that includes you) to share ideas about what a Creative Commons Certification might mean to you, and also, what you would expect as a process to earn one. Here is how to tell us. This was an idea I floated in a post originally published on my blog, from which […]
