DS4OERS/OER process/Challenge



In this mini-challenge, you will practise how to correctly attribute an image found on Flickr. We recommend that you keep notes of the images you have found, so that you can choose the best one for your purposes, but also so that you have the information needed to attribute the resource correctly when incorporating it into a teaching resource. If you forget to keep the information about the author, source URL, and licence, you will waste valuable time trying to find the data needed for attribution.

Preknowledge
To complete this mini challenge, you need to know:


 * 1) How to attribute using 'TASL'

An example of image attribution

It is also a way of saying 'thank you' to the original author for their willingness to share and acknowledging this publicly. Below, we provide an example of best practice for attributing images you find online.
