Open Education and Bio380 lecture on Neanderthals. This academic year I have set myself the goal of making all my lecture available for all, in the public domain, via YouTube and maybe also Slideshare.
The technical side of doing this is fairly straightforward (capture a screen movie via QuickTime), but the major hassle is ensuring and documenting permissions for all images. In my first attempt, I quickly realised that putting this information on the same slides as the images led to cluttered chaos, so I have piled them all up at the end of the talk. It is unclear to me what the rules are about using material from published papers, but cannot see how authors would not want students to know about their work.
So, in general, I am proceeding along the course of it is easier to apologise afterwards rather than ask permission in advance. If anyone objects to anything I have done, let me know and I will remove the offending material from the public domain. Slidecast via YouTubeSlides via Slideshare. Slideshare.
