"Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are still pretty new but more and more universities, platform providers and publishers are beginning to create MOOCs to raise their profile and showcase high-quality materials. But there is a risk that reputations can take a serious hit if materials and data are being used incorrectly, or without permission." Via EDTECH@UTRGV, Cíntia Rabello, Peter Mellow

I am very aware of the fact that I am using a digital curation site to highlight external resources about images and Copyright and therefore it seems sensible to highlight some of the pitfalls of this approach. I note that the Scoop.it example does not come out of this too well! |

Professors have expressed concern that MOOCs--and universities' efforts to claim the copyrights for these courses' content--could threaten professors' autonomy and academic relevance. Via Learning Environments

In most Australian universities this is common - teachign materials created within your remit as a university educator are owned by the university - a standard clause in your terms of employment.

I am generally a poor speller, but even I understand that there are two Os in MOOC. So for added clarity, let me state up front that this post will focus on the first O — the one that stands for “open.” But I want to get to the discussion about that O in a slightly round about (pun intended) way.
