Seminar 2 Agenda & Notes
Goals for Seminar 2:

- What is Fair Use?
- Best Practices
- Review the materials you selected
- What’s their licensing / permissions?
- Debrief
- Learning how to attribute the materials you select

For Reference:
- Printable version of the Fair Use Checklist
- Digital and printable version of the “Do I need to Get Permission?” handout
- Sample OER site licensing language: “Unless otherwise noted, this site is licensed….xyz” … this type of wording is helpful in establishing that the site license may be distinct from the licensing of the materials you post on your site
