The ‘Open Educational Resources and Intellectual Property Rights’ (OER & IPR) workshop organized by UNESCO IITE and UNESCO Moscow at the National Research University – Higher School of Economics brought together individuals specializing in the area of open education, OER, copyright, free licenses and policy-making in CIS as well as globally, aiming to share best practices, compare experiences and identify areas for improvement.

I was interviewed by Timothy Vollmer from Creative Commons over the summer and the result has appeared over on the Creative Commons blog http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/23521

Creative Commons have released a search prototype specifically aimed at searching for OERs. The project page is at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/DiscoverEd and while details are brief it looks likely to be a project worth watching.

In 2004, WIRED magazine’s November issue featured a CD with Creative Commons licensed music by Beastie Boys, My Morning Jacket, David Byrne, Chuck D and others, music which was also hosted on a new website, called ccMixter.org. ccMixter is a project supported by Creative Commons and more specifically Lucas Gonze, Neeru Paharia and Mike Linksvayer. Creative Commons is a non-profit organisation that is dedicated to making it easier for people to share and remix their work with others, providing free licenses and relevant legal tools for the authors creative work and for others to share and remix.
