[Canadaoer] Opening Up Copyright Update

Dear Canada OER Community, The team behind the University of Alberta’s Opening Up Copyright instructional modules is pleased to share another update on the series. This past fall several new instructional modules have been created and existing modules revised. The new and rebuilt modules are: - Interlibrary Loan and Controlled Digital Lending (starring Goodbrarian and Animal) - Licensed Library Resources - s. 29 Fair Dealing - Images (rebuild) - SOCAN v. Bell (rebuild) - Open Licensing and Creative Commons (rebuild) There are now more than 20 modules available. All of the modules can be found here: https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/ We’d also like to emphasize that these modules are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence so that they can be adopted and adapted by anyone. On the page for each module you will find a link to the associated script and slides, to allow for adaptation. The scripts and slides are also made available under a CC-BY licence. We’ve also added a new page to the OUC website, Scholarly Contributions <https://sites.library.ualberta.ca/copyright/scholarly-contributions/>, where you can access presentations and journal articles that have been generated through the project. In addition, we would like to highlight the Opening Up Copyright Community Pages ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Ul4YeOovdLOEaczPK7RipG_OgOd7etOcJI8ppT…) The Community Pages provide an overview of the entire suite of modules to be developed as part of the series, and also indicates which modules are currently under development. Furthermore, we encourage you to contribute to the individual module pages, where we hope to collect your ideas, feedback or suggestions. Please consider sharing suggestions for Learning Objectives, ideas for Narratives or Contextual Stories, Test Questions, Links to Useful Resources, or Other Suggestions for modules that interest you. You also have the option of including your name on these pages, so that we can provide attribution for your contributions at the end of the module. Feedback can also be sent directly to copyright(a)ualberta.ca with the subject line “OER Copyright Module.” We’re also happy to hear how the OUC modules are being used. If you are linking to, adopting or adapting the modules we would love to hear about it at on our OUC Module Use Community Page ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JrSd5PWShvyExN8NEZOgFpuTaF8DhKrkkgkmWSC… ) The Opening Up Copyright instructional modules series receives funding through the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund <https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/grants/tlef> at the University of Alberta.
