I wonder if this isn't reading more into the decision than is there. I don't read the decision as a blanket statement. Rather it says that the claimant didn't provide evidence of creative input.Would the decision have gone differently if he had claimed creative intervention? And what if an author does not acknowledge using AI?

AI-generated work not eligible for copyright protection. OTOH, how would anyone know if the "author" decided to keep the AI component a secret?

compare to Downes' MOOC design principles. Autonomy - diversity - openness - interactivity

a different open ed/info lit connection. Does the bias towards recent research play a part in this?

I like this idea. There is a closed-ness to most rubrics that I've encountered, where goals and measures of mastery are determined without learner input. "Transforming" implies a further step along a journey rather than an endpoint, and a process that is under an individual's own control.

Lots to like in a little statement. Best philosophies over best practices. Also the idea of philosophies as plural. Different situations may require different models.

Restricting and limiting are keys to profit-making. Relate to education as a commons

a good design principle

principles of open ed - compare to Downes: autonomy, diversity, interactivity, openness

design principles - compare to Kahle

essentially says "you bought it, you own it." Vendors in some cases prefer to lease rather than sell - creates an ongoing revenue stream, and allows for ongoing control. Transition to digital media facilitates lease over sale.

one definition of open ed

Love this point. Open has been trying to skirt the formal structures and roles for generations as well.

Of the five important questions listed here, this is the low-hanging fruit. Cost is a major barrier to access, so it makes sense that it's Q1. But the other Qs point to things that are so much more beneficial and empowering.

The key point to me here is that open is about what you can do, not what you can get. Open resources matter because they enable open practices and open pedagogy.

good - not limited to OER - open to learner input and control

I like this idea. Opens ways to connect info lit

This is where history is important. OER has only been a part of open ed relatively recently. The broader vision of open ed has been around for at least 45 years.

I tend to talk about it in entirely political terms, highlighting the difference between the purpose of copyright as written in the US Constitution and the purpose as practiced today.

interesting to hear about how this is framed in other cultures. People here take similar tactics, but the cultural resonance is different.

The "business" of univeristy?

This to me is more transparent than open where the world outside can see,

In this context open to me is more about connecting, communicating, learning together and from each other. it's people can walk in on their own or be invited in, people inside can go explore and visit others

Important: Open to me is much more than that still. I remember the Vconnecting we had during OpenEd15 : No consensus on what "Open" means yet.
