Sharing Open Teaching Materials

Sharing teaching materials also offers other advantages, such as:

• Improving the quality (through feedback and an enhanced focus on quality by the creator)
• Encouraging cooperation (even cross-country)
• Further professionalisation of the lecturer

Assigning a License to Your Own Material

Think about under what license you want to make your work available. A good option is to share your work under a Creative Commons (CC-)license. A CC-license ensures the author remains the copyright holder while allowing your work to freely be shared and edited. Depending on how you want others to use your work there are a number of options should you choose to use a CC-license. All licenses require that your name as the author must be mentioned. Then you can choose whether your work may be edited, used for commercial purposes, or whether it can be shared under the original conditions.
