Open content licensing for educators (#OCL4Ed) is a free online workshop designed for educators who want to learn more about open education resources, copyright, and creative commons licenses.
The course materials were developed as a collaborative project by volunteers from the OER Foundation, WikiEducator, the OpenCourseWare Consortium and Creative Commons with funding support from UNESCO. The course will provide prerequisite knowledge required by educators to legally remix open education materials and help institutions to take informed decisions about open content licenses.

Please spread the word through your networks. Give the gift of knowledge and invite a friend to join you.

I visited New Zealand in 1986 and also found it beautiful and the people friendly. For this course, you will need to sign-up at Wikieducator by following the link above and completing the free registration.

Best Regards!

Comment by Erik Christensen on December 10, 2011 at 10:28am: This sounds like it will be a great experience. I toured all of New Zealand on a bicycle for most of 2002 and was so amazed at the beauty of the country and the people. They were years ahead of the U.S. in terms of internet connectivity and technology adoption. I am sure this will be an exciting workshop. Sign me up!
