Permission to Teach Article @OCL4ED

Permission to teach is a valid argument on copyright issues with regards to sharing of knowledge. I guess when knowledge is shared on the Net, it becomes public knowledge. But control methods need to be exercised, in this case CREATIVE COMMONS. As mentioned in this article that sharing of knowledge is compared to construction, where building blocks continue through reusing and remixing OER materials. One word that I like to emphasis when discussing O.E.R is accessibility and availability.  Access to vast pool of resources and what is greatly available with no limitations. Contextualizing shared knowledge to be tailor made for our local environment, without prejudice to accessibility.

  1. I agree with your point about availability. Most open source content seems to be online only. Do you think having physical copies of this content will make it much more accessible to the technologically disadvantaged?

    1. Well, I guess the soft copies can be converted to hard copies after they are downloaded. Resources can also be included in servers as Data on an intra network. I believe MySQL 8 provides this platform.
