Good afternoon. I am Cliff Berry, Lead Instructor of History and Hummanities at Wilkes Community College. Other than general knowledge through my experience in teaching about the use of copyrighted and licensed material, I don't much experience in this area. Our campus has commited to using OER, so my intent is to locate, produce, and implement quality OER material.

2. Some - yes

3. Supporting faculty in adoption and implementation -- also create some content

What is your name and organization? My name is Tonia Lashley and I am employed with Halifax Community College. 

How have you interacted with copyright and licensing before? The only interaction I have had with copyright and licensing is when I was a student in college. 

How do you see yourself using OER in your position? Currently, I am not sure. However, I am hopeful to learn something I can use to implement in my online courses. (CIS 110)

Hi Tonia,

I grew up in Roanoke Rapids. Spragins is my maiden name. Many of my friends and relatives have taken classes there.

Deborah Maness

It is always nice to meet people who feel like family. Nice to mee tyou.

Hello everyone,

What is your name and organization? My name is Patricia Williams and I am the Associate Dean of Arts and Science and Biology Faculty at Gaston College.

How have you interacted with copyright and licensing before? I use it when I create material I share with faculty to use. I try to make sure to use it when I create something I share.

How do you see yourself using OER in your position? I want to help other faculty learn to find and use OER as well as add more OER in my courses. :)

Hello Patricia, 

My name is Jonee Callahan, I am the Director, HRD at Nash Community College. I am hoping that the OER Training helps me find and add OER to my courses. 

Hi, I'm Carole Mehle. I am lead instructor of humanities and an English instructor at Edgecombe Community College.

My knowledge about copyright and licensing is limited.

I already use many OER resources, primarily textbooks in two courses and much of the NROC material in two other courses. Since most of my classes are online, I am always looking to make them more interactive and more cost efficient. ECC is highly encouraging faculty to move in the OER direction. I am also considering authoring some OER material for use in the courses I teach.

Hi. I teach English 111 at Wake Tech. I'd love to hear about the OER resources you are using.

I use Common Lit and Lumen Learning.

Hi, everyone!  I'm Todd Krueger at College of The Albemarle in Elizabeth City, and I'm new to copyrights and licensing.  We are always looking for ways to reduce student costs, so I'm looking forward to seeing what OER resources are available for our courses.

Hello Todd, 

I am also new to copyrights and licensing. Reducing student costs is also my goal. 

Nyob zoo.  My name is Touger Vang.  Currently, I am working for Montgomery Community College as the Dean of Learning Resources.  As a trained librarian, I have general knowledge about copyright and licensing usage for educational purposes.  Whatever I do not know. I seek information from the American Library Association.  In my position, I promote, support and research open educational resources for faculty who wants to use them.  Personally and professionally, I use OER for professional development on my own.

Hi Touger Vang!  Welcome fellow librarian!

My name is Michael Jefferson Jr. I am a Division Director for College Transfer and Health Sciences at Roanoke Chowan Community College. I am also Mathematics Faculty. I have had training on creative commons. The training was brief and was also several years ago. Today's training was a good refresher. I will be implementing more NCCCS suppoted OER in the courses I teach to start. I will then get other instructors onboard with how to implement OER afterward.

Hello Michael,

Just touching base regarding your mathematics instruction -- have you found good OER problem sets?

Ed

Hello and good afternoon, 

Not yet Mr. Ladenburger. Im currently using Pearson Resources for my current courses. I did complete a Google form to be sent a digital copy of a Precalculus book using OER today. Im looking forward to reviewing it and maybe adding it in as a practice resource for students in our LMS.

Let me know if you find something, if you are looking as well.  

Mr. J  

1. What is your name and organization? My name is Carla Colin; I am a faculty and part time Distance learning assistant at Sampson Community College.

2. How have you interacted with copyright and licensing before? Like Cliff said, I don't have much experience in this area, other than general knowledge through my experience in teaching.

3. How do you see yourself using OER in your position? I would like to use more OER in my courses and help other occupational instructors find resources for their classes.

Hi Carla,  I'm like you, I am really looking forward to finding lots of OER for each course I'm planning, taking the burden of cost away and giving the students as much information/opportunities to learn as possible.

Hello everyone,

My name is Nick Westveer working at Guilford Technical Community College.

I have used/remixed resources when creating lessons for face-to-face and online instruction.

I can see myself advocating for instructors to integrate OER resources into their courses.

Hello, everyone. My name is Dawn Harvel and I am the Department Chair for the Human Services Technology programs at Wake Technical Community College. I have enough knowlege of licensing and copyright to be dangerous - I've attended some workshops in the past on the topic but never quite seem to fully grasp the ins and outs. In my current position, I'm interested in learning to locate and mix resources to fit my programs and to create/author some that can be used in my program and other programs around the state.

My name is Kim Barber and I am the Distance Learning Coordinator at Martin Community College in Williamston, N.C..

I have always tried to be diligent about compliance with copyright laws both in my previous role as a faculty member and in my current staff role. I noticed early on in my teaching career that acting on misconceptions or well meaning "handed-down" ideas of copyright laws easily resulted in gray area decisions if not outright violations. Researching compliance is a much better route to make an informed decision.

OER content in the LMS environment, just as any other resource, must comply with all federal and state rules and laws (i.e. ADA, copyright) and professional development (PD) for instructors in this area falls within distance learning. Additonally, coordination of PD on OER integration into the LMS environment using the openNCCCS LTI feature is important for our college as we have not heavily promoted this tool. 

Hello everyone!

My name is Marty Flynn and I am the Division Chair of Allied Health and Public Safety at Martin Community College.

I have interacted with copyright and licensing.

I currenly OER to supplement some of my current courses.

Glad to see you're here Marty!! We can talk OER...

Jennifer Smith, Reference & Instruction Librarian, Alamance Community College

I have interacted with copyright in my work in libraries mostly helping students and faculty understand copyright from a information literacy view.  I do not have exerpience with liscensing. 

I see myself as being an advocated for OER on my campus and assisting faculty and staff with understanding OER better and helping them to find OER resources they can use in their work. 

Hi Jennifer! nice to meet a fellow librarian.

Rachel

Same here!

Nicholle Stone, Guilford Tech CC.

I've taught students the basic of searching Google for items by licensing. This was for a multimedia (Designing CBT) course that I taught for 10 years.

Supporting faculty in knowing the basics - what OER is, how to find them and how to use them as well as WHY to use them.

Hello, everyone,

My name is Leigh Heath.  I am a full-time faculty member at Wayne Community College where I am the Lead Office Administration Instructor.  I have a limited background in copyright.  I do not feel comfortable enough to know everything involved in OER.  I would eventually like to have as many of my courses as possible not requiring a textbook.  I see myself using OER to meet that goal I have set.

Good afternoon. My name is Lucretia White, and I am the Program Coordinator of  Academic Foundations at the College of The Albemarle. Since I oversee ACA 111 and ACA 122, I have some experience with OER. We use an Open Stax textbook in our ACA classes. 

My name is Susan Whittemore and I work at Gaston College. My experience with copyright and licensing is very limited. I want to build a series of OER resources for my Biology Course with the goal of eventually helping other faculty to find and build their own OER resources for the courses as well.

Great to see you in this discussion, Susan! I had no idea you were interested in creating OER materials for your biology courses. That is so amazing. I know you will have some creative ideas! Your students always rave about your classes. I can't wait to see what you have to share!

Hello.

My name is Alisha Webb. I am a librarian at Guilford Technical Community College. I keep up-to-date on copyright and licensing topics so that I can help the GTCC community understand these complex issues. 

I forsee being a resource to the college as someone who can help find existing OER and describe what it is. 

Hi Alisha!  Nice to meet a fellow librarian!

Rachel

Hello. I am Christine Wilson, LMS administrator at Johnston Community College. I taught for about 10 years and have spent the last 10 years in different roles in DL administration. As an instructor, I had to make sure that the materials I used abided by copyright and licensing rules. In DL administration, I have to keep an eye on classes to make sure that instructors are using materials legally. Typically in my role, I help instructors determine the best tools to use to make the best courses they can.

Christine, as DL Admin, you advise instructors on what tools they should use in their classes? You also evaluate for copyright issues in the courses and such in the courses? Do you work with an ID or other DL staff? I am very interested.

My role here is a bit different than most DL Admins I think. We are supposed to have a staff of several, but don't have them. I only got into this position in September when the other roles were empty, so looking forward to seeing how my role might change once they get filled. Fortunately, my background, MS in ID, EdD in High Ed Admin, provides me with the knowledge to serve in a wider capacity than perhaps a typical DL admin might.

1. What is your name and organization?  Hello everyone, my name is Paula Barnette. Corequisite Discipline Chair/Instructor in the Mathematics Division at Central Piedmont Community College
2. How have you interacted with copyright and licensing before?  I have interacted some while setting up shared models in D2L for corequisite courses.  We use Lumen in our MAT 121/021, Algebra Trigonometry/Algebra Trigonometry Support courses. I wasn't in on the initial set up.
3. How do you see yourself using OER in your position?  I need to be more confident and competent because of my responsibilities as corequisite chair. I would like to see more interactive OER content in the corequisite courses and in my other classes that I teach that would make the course more engaging and compliant.

My name is Bisceglia White. I am at College of the Albemarle. I have never interacted with copyright or licensing before. I could see our program using and sharing free resources but I am not exaclty sure how yet

1. Angela Davis, Pitt Community College Library
2. I get questions from faculty related to creative commons licensing and copyright who are adapting OER and from those who want to use library materials in their online courses.
3. I have helped several faculty members by curating lists of open textbooks, course modules, etc., which helps them get an idea of what is available for their subject area. In those lists, I include search suggestions for how they can search for more on their own. 

Hi Everybody My name is Bill Teale. Currently I am an adjunct instructor at McDowell Tech CC in Marion NC. From January I will be joining the full time faculty of the IT department, 

I have a successful web design business that I have built from scratch since 2008, and I do have knowledge of the copyright and licensing maze. At one point in my industry ambulance-chasing lawyers turn away from accidents and to trawling through the internet looking for copyright violations on images to make a quick buck.

I am taking over a set of online classes that mostly use LinkedIn Learning as their knowledge base. The upside for the student is they have less cost that traditional paper books, and more up to date references, but I want to come away from LinkedIn and produce my own video lectures, backed up with OER meterial wherever possible to make the courses the most interesting, and relevant cost effective they could possibly be.

Congratulations on your full time status!

Thank you! I am sooo nervous, but I have a great support system!

Hi, everyone!

I'm Rochelle Mabry, and I teach English at Martin Community College. I'm a little familar with using Creative Commons items and am using some OER in a couple of courses this semester, but I still have a lot to learn. I'd like to incorporate OER in each of my courses in the future. 

Hello,

I am Deborah Maness and teach English at Wake Tech Community College. Librarians at the college have helped with confirming resources are available for my courses. I have used both free and OER resources, mainly Common Lit and Lumen Learning. I have not attempted to revise any OER used.

I am currently using all online and OER in my ENG 111 online course.

Hello everyone, 

My name is Julie Reed and I'm the E-Learning Librarian at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte. I have some experience with Creative Commons licenses and have learned a great deal about copyright as an OER advocate - but there is always something new to learn. I co-lead a Faculty Learning Commons group here on OER and Open Pedagogy and regularly consult with instructors and departments to faciltate OER adoption here at Central Piedmont.

My name is Michele Domenech, and I am an English Instructor and Global Education Program Coordinator at Gaston College. I have used an OER in the past, attended OER conferences, and used/created them in the past while teaching in Texas, so I am familiar with copyright and licensing. The English Department is reviewing the Writing Guide with Handbook to be used Fall 2024 (Summer Pilot) for ENG 111/112. I also use an OER in my ENG 111 course where I teach Ethnographic Writing in the Composition Classroom as part of my globalized class. Engaging Communities: Writing Ethnographic Research.

Thank you for sharing these sources.
