> Sponsored by UNESCO, the course materials were developed as a
> collaborative project by volunteers from the OER Foundation,
> WikiEducator, the OpenCourseWare Consortium and Creative Commons. The
> course will provide prerequisite knowledge required by educators to
> legally remix open education materials and help institutions to take
> informed decisions about open content licenses. We encourage all BOTs
> to consider adopting open content intellectual property policies at
> their schools and this workshop will provide you with the information
> you need to consider this important decision.
