Before engaging students in OEP, it is important to think about how you will empower their understanding and agency around copyright and licensing of their own work. Students may not recognize their own power and choice when it comes to making their work publicly available.
Some considerations:
- How can I educate students about the advantages and challenges of publishing open content?
- What do students give up by publishing with an open license?
- Can I provide alternatives to participating in open practices?
- Do I have time within my course to educate students around copyright and creative commons?
