My most popular video on YouTube (by far) is one where I recite the Martin Niemöller poem First They Came for The Communists. It’s been on the site over 10 years and has received to date about 54,000 views. Interestingly the views spiked when Donald Trump came into power – make of that what you … Continue reading Creative Commons →

For most of us Wikipedia is the first stop on any research journey, but I have been finding out there is so much more to the wonderful world of Wikimedia. From bucket loads of quotes for when your inspiration takes a dip on Wikiquote, to free to use music on Wikimedia Commons, if I had … Continue reading wiki’d →
OER’s: Thing 12 of 23
It’s been a while since the last one of these hasn’t it?Since the last 23 things post I did I have been a bit busy becoming a practitioner in the new General Data Protection Regulations (for what it’s worth) and studying for my next Information Securit…
Copyright and Creative Commons: Thing 11 of 23
The challenge this time around was to find two images I was using for a presentation in my field and doing a review of how they were licensed and what that means. In my enthusiasm I have gone a step farther. I have taken two images and then combin…
Thing 11 : Copyright
I have been using a lot of multimedia files in my presentations, projects, etc in the past. Recently I have been concerned with how the…
Thing 19: Altmetrics
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. I’ve been writing for more years than I can remember – spanning all sorts of things, from song lyrics and travel writing to technical instructions and book forewords.

Thing 11 – Copyright
Thing 11 – Copyright As a trainer and educator, I’ve had to give *a lot* of presentations over the years, and often find myself looking for images to make the PowerPoint/Prezi/Keynote a bit more interesting. These have all taken place during my employment with various NGOs, charities and Universities, so I rather lazily assumed that…
23 Things: Thing 11 & 12 Copyright and OER
First of all a confession – I can get quite emotional about copyright and licensing :’} So emotional in fact that Jane Secker’s ALT Conference keynote Copyright and e-learning: understanding our privileges and freedoms actually brought a wee tear to my eye. You might think I’m making this up but it’s true, and the reason why is that […]
Thing 11: Copyright
I love the Creative Commons Search Tool – It’s on my browser tool bar and is my go to choice for image searching. When I’m putting together presentations, I either use my own photographs, so I have the copyright, or images I’ve sourced from here with appropriate CC licences. I recently put together a presentation … Continue reading Thing 11: Copyright →
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are online or digital resources that are available for others to use to support learning. So says the definition on 23 Things. That makes OER interpretable in many different ways, as ‘resources’ are essentially any form of distributed digital media, which become OER as a result of … Continue reading “Thing 12: Open Educational Resources”

The weeks are flying by. I was hoping to backtrack on a few things this week but Week Six. Copyright, OERs and Creative Commons – 23 Things popped into my inbox and thing 11 is quite timely. Here and there I’ve blogged here about copyright quite a bit, but it is a constantly interesting subject. […]
