Alan Clarke, York St John University
This article addresses the issue of what have generally become known as ‘Open Educational Resources’ (OER), essentially, the practice of putting educational resources online for free. Alan Clarke examines the idea of the ‘fair use’ of intellectual materials and the concept of educational and creative matter being in the ‘commons’ and commonly available to all.
Next week is Open Education Week (5 - 10 March 2012) which is taking place online and in locally hosted events around the world. The purpose of Open Education Week is to raise awareness of the open education movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide. Participation in all events and use of all resources is free an open to anyone. We feel that Alan Clarke's article will be of interest.
