Thread:A few issues - break up into separate threads as needed (1)

>>(The Diagram)

I think the diagram works with a few tweaks. Wayne's breakdown of places to "Find," should be included, unless you have any objections. Secondly, I think license should be included in parentheses, like the sub-parts of Adapt.

>>Doing the Right Thing (collaborate and share)

This may be a matter of fundamental difference in perspective, but I want to be careful about presenting OER in moral terms. Based on the last few edits, we've been trying to point out how OER can help them, rather than what they should do. I do like the symmetry of the two sub-section headings.

>>Share: Finally, the resource is ready for sharing with learners and/or educators.

I still have misgivings about combining licensing and sharing. I absolutely see your point that the two are tied together. However, I am concerned about overwhelming the user, because I think licensing alone may intimidate some users.

>>Use: Ultimately, the resource is available for use by learners and/or educators

I'm not sure about pulling out Use OER from the lifecycle. I think that using the OER is integral part of its "life," as its use may color how the OER is published, as well as how other OER are published.

We offer a few illustrative usage scenarios in this handbook.

This is something we will have to talk about.

>>Doing it Right...

Whether we keep this section or not depends on whether the copyright section is kept in Why OER?
