Leveraging Creative Commons& Open Educational Resources (OER)

to Enhance TAACCCT Proposals

June 5, 2013

Overarching Goals

1. Increase attainment of degrees, certifications, certificates, diplomas, and other industry-recognized credentials that match the skills needed by employers to better prepare TAA-eligible workers and other adults for high-wage, high-skill employment or re-employment in growth industry sectors.

2. Introduce or replicate innovative and effective methods for designing and delivering instruction that address specific industry needs and lead to improved learning, completion, and other outcomes for TAA-eligible workers and other adults.

3. Demonstrate improved employment outcomes.

1. Core Element 1: Evidence-Based Design

2. Core Element 2: Stacked and Latticed Credentials

3. Core Element 3: Transferability and Articulation of Credit

4. Core Element 4: Advanced Online and Technology-Enabled Learning“To further the goal of career training and education and to encourage innovation in the development of new curricula, applicants must publicly license all curricula and training materials created or developed with the support of the grant under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.”

5. Core Element 5: Strategic Alignment

6. Core Element 6: Alignment with Previously-Funded TAACCCT Projects“All applicants must research educational institutions that received funding through TAACCCT Round 1 and/or Round 2 to help decrease duplication and to strengthen the geographic reach of their projects, and should coordinate efforts where possible.”

Core Elements

• As a condition of the receipt of a TAACCCT grant, the grantee will be required to license to the public all work created with the support of the grant under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 (CCBY) license.

• This license allows subsequent users to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt the copyrighted Work and requires such users to attribute the Work in the manner specified by the grantee. Notice of the license shall be affixed to the Work.

• The purpose of the CCBY licensing requirement is to ensure as broad an impact as possible and to encourage innovation in the development of new learning materials. Materials developed with funds provided by these grants result in Work that can be freely reused and improved by others.

SGA Requirements

• Work that must be licensed under the CC BY includes both new content created with the grant funds and modifications made to pre-existing, grantee-owned content using grant funds.

• Only work that is developed by the grantee with the grant funds is required to be licensed under the CC BY license. Pre-existing copyrighted materials licensed to, or purchased by the grantee from third parties, including modifications of such materials, remain subject to the intellectual property rights the grantee receives under the terms of the particular license or purchase. In addition, works created by the grantee without grant funds do not fall under the CC BY license requirement.

• The Department will ensure that deliverables developed with these funds are publicly available.

Open Access

OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.

Open educational resources include full courses and supplemental resources such as textbooks, images, videos, animations, simulations, assessments, …

Core Concept

OER are learning materials freely available undera license that allows you to:
