Workshop Proposal - Enriching Scholarship 2013

Title: U-M's Open Remix Culture - Overview and How to Create and Share Legally Using Open Licenses

Presenters: David Malicke, Kathleen Ludewig Omollo

Department: Open.Michigan Initiative, Office of Enabling Technologies, a department within Medical School Information Services

Description: We create, use, and share each other's knowledge every day. This highly interactive workshop will equip attendees with the expertise and skills to develop, share, and find information for widespread use, re-mixing, and re-distribution. Members of the Open.Michigan initiative will provide an overview of the culture and practice of remixes in education, with a focus on resources created by members of the University of Michigan community. Workshop attendees will also engage in a hands-on activity to understand the practical process of how to create and remix legally for publicly available content. The activity will address the basics of copyright law and the Creative Commons licensing scheme and walk through the process of how to review materials for copyright, privacy, and product endorsement before making them publicly available.

Length: 90 minutes

Style: Hands-On Session

Location/Space Preferences: We'll need a projector and speakers since we'll be showing a few slides and short video clips at the beginning. We'll need a room with lots of table space (ideally mobile ones than can be pushed together for a larger space) since we'll be doing a paper-based activity for the hands-on session. The room in Hatcher 100 (with the laptops in the cabinet) has lots of desk space and would work well for us.
