I’m interested in opening up some of my courses and sharing the resources in a responsible way, but I don’t really know where to start.
HOW TO GET COLLEAGUES ON BOARD?
Inspire them
Share and celebrate success!
An example
Explain how open courses fit the organisation's culture/strategy?
An example
Point to the WHY OPEN branch to highlight opportunities
Reassure them
Share your own CC-licensed BY-SA material with them
Utilizing it requires them to use the same license
(see e.g.,
Slideshare
,
YouTube help on CC
)
Leverage the tools of sharing / working in your organisation / community?
(e.g., learning management system, Microsoft Teams, video library, blogs, web pages, social media etc.)
Look for collegial support - link to possible communities and networks (see e.g.,
UNESCO: OER
,
Wikipedia
)
Inform about CC-licenses (
sharing doesn't mean giving up rights, it respects their work
)
Creative Commons
Connect (with) them
Become a member of a larger community by sharing & using their shared resources
