Week 7 Summary Email
1. Faculty Permission forms. addressed who we have heard from, who of the faculty will soon return permission forms, etc. If anyone hears from faculty in the next few weeks about the permissions form or about the project, let us know and we will work to get them on board.

2. Getting Content Objects to Cleared. Pieter and I have been reviewing each of your lectures attempting to get as many of the content objects as far toward cleared as possible. We all seem to be on the same page about what needs to be done with each of the materials to get these to cleared. pieter and I will be in touch with you individually to clear up any issues.

3. Publishing Process.


 * - For slides where you may remove two or more images and replace them with just one, do not worry about inserting the Removal Graphic. If the learning objective remains clear, we should have nothing to worry about.
 * - for slides that have multiple no copyright / public domain images, apply the Metadata tag to each - do not simply have one box at the bottom of the slide that presents the source information. Of course, there are exceptions to this where it may simply interfere with the process, figure, etc. Make a judgment call about where it's best to place the tag.
 * - for public domain images we will not include a statement that says public domain. We will instead follow the format "Source: [name of source, if available], [where you accessed the material, e.g. wikipedia]
 * - for images that you create and seem to merit copyright due to creative expression and representation, we will include "CC:BY: University of Michigan, Medical School" in the metadata tag. For images (e.g the histology images) where there is no copyright to begin with, we willT not use a license but instead will use "Source: University of Michigan, Medical School"

4. Working with .pdf files. We will work to figure out how best to work with .pdf presentations - perhaps using Adobe professional to make editable .pdfs. we will email the group with instructions once we have figured it out.

5. Title Slide / disclaimers. In addition to inserting these into the front of each lecture presentation, we will also include them at the front of each supplementary material, including the syllabus, case studies, etc. After editing to include the appropriate information, convert to jpeg and insert into the document.

6. We had a question about how best to label the source. we will use this format: "Source: [title of work/book], [publisher], [year]"

7. when you have completed an edited lecture, upload it to the tool, adding Cleared to the file name. we will review them there.
