open licensing hematology (blood sample) slides - Canadaoer

27 Mar 2018

Hi Everyone,

I have a project where an instructor would like to digitize and openly
license thousands of blood sample slides as OER. The slides are dated and
have been stored in the basement of the faculty for years and we are
navigating the validation of* copyright and ethics of use*. At this stage,
it seems that digitizing them is not a concern but licensing them as open
is a question mark which we will begin exploring with our Copyright and
Ethics office shortly. If any of you have experience in this type of OER
project, could you please reach out? I'd love to be able to equip the
instructor with examples as we navigate these conversations.

Thank you!
