The Case for Non-Derivative OER

Presentation at the OE Global 2020 Conference, 2020.11.16.

Non-derivative OER is not a tautology but rather a necessity that can preserve the intellectual integrity of ideas. Partial or controlled revision complicates the neatness of the 5 Rs model, but it still allows educators to work with students in open and meaningful ways while protecting the distinctiveness of ideas. It also reminds all of us that teaching materials are not just utilitarian tools but actual knowledge that must be respected and preserved – and shared as such.
