Audit for openness of course or resource = Course Audit of AmCult 201 =

Course Content

 * 13 powerpoints with a lot of images

Copyright Concerns

 * LOTS of un-attributed images.
 * most will be PD-OLD or PD-INEL, but we still need to prove that by having provenance information for them.

* tentative agreement with this point; most of the images look old, but I would want more sourcing, because they may just seem old.


 * only a couple that will need to be removed (eg: Jim Carey and "The Mask")

Privacy Concerns

 * Nothing.

Technical Concerns

 * 201.First.09.ppt, first slide has a big blank square, needs to be fixed
 * happens in a couple other ppts as well
 * Little Women: lots of QuickTime errors, will need to have those images re-added to the file.

* As a triage question, should we just remove QT files in general. They seem to cause a lot of problems.

Level of Editing Needed

 * Lots of editing to add in all of the provenance/source information

Level of Publishing Needed

 * Nothing out of the ordinary, I don't believe.

I think that we need to have a general discussion on super image heavy courses like this. I think that if we added more contextual materials, we could get a lot more out of these. Not to open up an existential argument though...

dScribe Method Recommendation

 * Student dScribe who is in the course, taking notes on the provenance of images while the prof is giving the lecture.

Training Requirements

 * Train dScribe on very very basic copyright and mostly just on what is the important provenance information

Next Steps

 * Nothing right now.

Perhaps we could work with the prof on the outset on a course like this one. She seems interested in making her materials open, and if she did a bit on the creation side of the opening, we could get a lot more out of this.
