Thread:A few issues - break up into separate threads as needed (2)

I have updated the diagram, but did not add "Licensing" in parentheses within Share - I see licensing as a necessary evil rather than an integral part of learning design, and, although "Share" is the logical place for it, the licensing section will be cross-referenced frequently (easier to find if not embedded anywhere). So, I think we agree :-). Aim: a tidy separation of concerns - the challenge will be to structure that section well (it might be well structured already ... I am getting there ...).

I removed the "doing the right things" and "doing them right" sub-headings - not sure if what I have replaced them with is ideal though.

"Use/Learn with" is back in the list - the intention was not to remove "Use OER" from the cycle but to highlight the very point you are making - it does not exactly fit at any one point (an OER is in use in all of the learn/adapt/share stages).

In my mind was an insert with each chapter. Perhaps instead of inserts we could have "Exercises"/ "Hands-on" inserts/ or even a separate workbook) which in effect take the serious readers through the steps of building their own first OER (and deploy it on one of three sites - WikiEducator, Connexions and ...).

e.g. in chapter one: "Think about an OER you intend to build ..." ... "Write down the learning objectives ..." and "the types of resources you might need" .... Learning4content probably has a good foundation for this tutorial approach.

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

We will need to optimise and consolidate all the references to copyright (already in ToDo).

Thanks for all your responses and efficient changes, etc.
