- Offer at least 2 quiz questions per unit. Quiz questions can be true/false or multiple choice. Format the questions according to this template, making sure to cite where in the reading hosts the answer.
- Annotate the Additional Resources sections with notes on what sources were most helpful. Either mark your annotations in the Hypothes.is app, or create/build on an Airtable to organize the Additional Resources.
- Highlight at least 6 resources–one from each unit. Note how/why they are relevant. Note where in the unit your resources build on ideas presented (citing the unit section number and paragraph).
- At least 3 of the suggestions for additional resources should be from non-North American sources.
- Please share a document summarizing your 6 sources and descriptions, to simplify the grading process for your instructor. Thank you.
Option 2: (12 points)
- Essay: Write a 500 word essay describing how you can best advocate for open values, practices and resources within your systems. Answer the following questions in your essay:
- Why and how would you advocate for open values, practices and resources in your home institution?
- What are two takeaways or pieces of knowledge you gleaned from this course that you’ve already incorporated or plan to incorporate into your advocacy efforts?
- What resources, lessons or advice can you offer others? For example: what talking points have you/others used that might help?
- What challenges do you face?
- Case Study: Write a country case study, no more than 500 words. The case study should highlight a non-North American country’s particular copyright environment (laws, and public norms) and describe the use or lack of use of Creative Commons licenses. Describe why and how the copyright, publishing, or academic traditions enable or limit opportunity for engagement with Creative Commons licenses. Cite your sources.
