Because I’ve been writing and thinking a lot about historical fiction in medieval Bohemia, YouTube recommended to me the “Old Goat Stories”, animated movies based on central-European fairy tales. At a point in the second one, I imagined myself as a wr…

Thing 11 and 12
I’m sooo glad to see something about copyright in this course as it is so important to understand and respect the work people have done. Someone has taken the time to think about, create and put out in the world something they think is important. This work should be respected and dealt with accordingly byContinue reading “Thing 11 and 12”
Thing 12 – Open Educational Resources
Open Education Resources or OER’s are educational resources (for example podcasts, video recordings, lecture slides) that have been licenced to allow them to be shared and reused. A quick internet search reveals resources covering such diverse areas as a Survey of Scottish Witchcraft Visualisations and a Math in Society course available from the Open Course …
Thing 11- Copyright
Thing 11 from the University of Edinburgh’s 23 Things course explores the area of Intellectual Property Rights referred to as ‘copyright’ – the rights given to the author of a creative work.

Thing 11: Copyright
A few weeks ago, an academic colleague asked me to digitise a play and add it to a reading list so all of their students could access it: It should be out of copyright (1949) by now, right? Librarian colleagues, depending on what else has happened in their day, might be laughing, groaning, snorting or… Read more Thing 11: Copyright

Thing 11 – Copyright
Thing 11 – Copyright As a trainer and educator, I’ve had to give *a lot* of presentations over the years, and often find myself looking for images to make the PowerPoint/Prezi/Keynote a bit more interesting. These have all taken place during my employment with various NGOs, charities and Universities, so I rather lazily assumed that…
23 Things: Thing 11 & 12 Copyright and OER
First of all a confession – I can get quite emotional about copyright and licensing :’} So emotional in fact that Jane Secker’s ALT Conference keynote Copyright and e-learning: understanding our privileges and freedoms actually brought a wee tear to my eye. You might think I’m making this up but it’s true, and the reason why is that […]
Thing 11: Copyright
I love the Creative Commons Search Tool – It’s on my browser tool bar and is my go to choice for image searching. When I’m putting together presentations, I either use my own photographs, so I have the copyright, or images I’ve sourced from here with appropriate CC licences. I recently put together a presentation … Continue reading Thing 11: Copyright →
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are online or digital resources that are available for others to use to support learning. So says the definition on 23 Things. That makes OER interpretable in many different ways, as ‘resources’ are essentially any form of distributed digital media, which become OER as a result of … Continue reading “Thing 12: Open Educational Resources”
Return to 23 Things
With Samhuinn behind us, life is slowly returning to its regular format ( with a hint of regret). And while more photography and personal posts are in the works, I am woefully behind on the 23 Things blogging – and I’ve genuinely been missing the steady weekly learning, so it’s good to be back on […]
