We hope that you enjoyed the second topic — Copyright, being ‘open’ on social media, disrupting the status quo.
As we continue to share, hear and discuss ideas around openness in Higher Education, you will be considering how the topic of this module relates to your practice.
This post is to help you review topic 2. Please start/continue your discussions around the themes by writing a brief post and adding the tag OKHE. If you are a student being assessed, this is a chance to try out the assessment process.
If you attended session 2, please help us understand the needs of the group by answering three questions below.
Review
To the left are the combined presentations from session 2. These are open access.
Additionally, students being assessed can access a recording of session 2 now (login required; we are unable to make this open access).
We also discussed assessment in session 2. Please see our page on this for full details.
Reflect
You may wish to explore some of the themes from this session further.
The University of Manchester Library has produced a short video series on Open Access, which you can view using the player on this page.
You can also browse hashtags such as #oa and #openaccess on Twitter to read very recent discussions on — or relating to — this topic.
In case you missed it, we have produced a post on copyright, licensing and openness — including practical advice for higher education staff.
Copyright and open access were big themes in topic 2 — what are your thoughts on these? If copyright did not exist, would you want it to? Would you design a different system?
Continue the discussion
