This paper will discuss perceived attitudes and observed barriers to the release of Open Educational Resources (OER) within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Further Education Colleges (FECs). Through an OER pilot project involving seven partner institutions across the UK, a pattern of Intellectual Property Right (IPR)-related obstacles has arisen. The main issue faced by the project was academics' unfamiliarity with IPR when it came to releasing materials to the wider world outside of their institution and ‘normal’ publishing routes.

An OER Amnesty

- Hi all, My name is Alex Fenlon, I work for the Engineering Subject Centre based at Lboro. I have been with the Centre for the last 10 months working solely on the OER project. My background is in IPR, I was a trade mark agent before I took the ‘bold’ step into HE. It was a bit of a shock to begin with but I’m getting there slowly. The aim of this session is to highlight one or two of the issues we encountered throughout the project and suggest some possible options for HEI’s to look at.

- Professor Polman- Leeds Met, who used substantial sections of a student’s work without her consent. Under Leeds Met’s regulations she did not own her work. Loughborough and Plymouth’s regulations say student’s own their own materials. There is a clear difference in who owns what at every institution. Be clear you know what you own.
- In the previous, example HEI A could have released resources from Academic A believing they were covered by the Academic Conditions of Service and their standard employment terms, only to have HEI B complain that they hold the rights to Academic A’s resources. But does HEI B really own the rights? They could have been created by Academic B, the previous lecturer that Academic A borrowed the notes off some time ago, and Academic B used them at their previous employer. We could go on forever. To what extent are HEI’s required to continue to trace ownership?

- Digital Economy Bill [HL] 2009-10 being discussed by HoL and Commons http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2009-10/digitaleconomy.html- deals with online infringement and seems to be difficult to reconcile with needs of HE/FE. This legislation probably wont help educational users as it seems to be focus on file-sharing and the impetuous is on ISP’s to act. Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2009/january/tradoc_142039.pdf ‘ The goal of the ACTA negotiations is to provide an international framework that improves the enforcement of intellectual property right (IPR) laws. It does not purport to create new intellectual property rights, but to create improved international standards as to how to act against large-scale infringements of IPR.’
