Welcome to JISC Casper

The copyright advice & support project for JISC e-learning resources

JISC CASPER will be supporting the 19 projects funded as part of RepRODUCE (Repurposing & reuse of digital University-level content and evaluation) as they engage with all of the issues related to IPR and copyright.

JISC CASPER will be:

  • capturing their experiences - good and bad
  • guiding the projects to the wealth of rights related materials currently available and helping them apply it in their projects
  • developing new materials as required
  • undertaking rights clearance centrally when it makes sense by saving time and money for all
  • helping to build capacity in the sector

All of the case studies and materials developed as part of JISC CASPER will be made available to the wider JISC community (some already are) on an ongoing basis both from this web site and by their deposition in JORUM.

In one respect [...]

OERs and China

I was recently teaching a session on online distance learning as part of the  e-Learning MSc here in Oxford.  During this I asked the students to critique an OER as an examples of effective online distance learning (or not).  As part of this  one of our students, Kitty Tong reported on her experience of OER [...]

Reuse in action

Having been involved in several research projects around the area of OERs (especially OpenSpires) and more specifically the reuse of existing content (Mosaic and Cascade),  it is really gratifying to see some of this work enter our mainstream course production practice.   A major benefit of Mosaic was a real tightening up of our approaches to [...]

OERs for teachers or learners?

I am sure most OER projects would say both…but in looking at this area recently it is clear there is a fundamental difference in expectations between making your OER available in iTunesU or YouTube and placing it in a repository – yet most of the debate in this area does not make the distinction. In Oxford [...]
