The twillo-Thurs­day is our online con­sul­ta­tion hour about Open Edu­ca­tional Resources (#OERde). Every Thurs­day from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. you can clar­ify your ques­tions in a per­sonal con­ver­sa­tion with our lawyer and the sup­port team — directly and with­out reg­is­tra­tion. With the twillo-Thurs­day Spot­light, the exist­ing offer is sup­ple­mented by a short legal input. Every 1st Thurs­day of the month, there is a 15-minute short pre­sen­ta­tion on cur­rent legal issues that have been selected in advance by the com­mu­nity.

Topic this time: “Creating OER with software. What do you need to consider?”

Cre­at­ing teach­ing and learn­ing mate­ri­als with the help of soft­ware is part of every­day life for many teach­ers. How­ever, not every pro­gram is suit­able for OER with­out restric­tions. In this spot­light, our lawyer shows exam­ples of what to look out for in the terms of use and which pro­grams are OER-friendly — and which are not.
