Introduction to the open policy network and institute for open leadership
1 like801 views
The document proposes establishing an Institute for Open Leadership to train emerging leaders in open licensing, policies, and practices. The institute would host a week-long intensive training program for 20 participants each year, connecting them with experts in open fields. Participants would develop capstone projects applying what they learned to make materials openly available at their own institutions. The goal is to foster a new generation of leaders who promote open policies and practices.
Introduction to the open policy network and institute for open leadership
- 2. 1
- 4. WHY?
- 5. Current system = broken
- 6. Optimized system = possible!
- 7. OPEN POLICY: Publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources
- 8. EXAMPLE
- 10. IDEA ● Warsaw CC Summit 2011 ● OER on the radar of policymakers ● affiliates requested support ● current efforts decentralized and uncoordinated ● need a network to share and discuss ● need best data, toolkits, arguments ● let’s not miss opportunities that arise!
- 11. MISSION ● Foster the creation, adoption, and implementation of open policies that advance the public good. ● Do this by supporting advocates, organizations, policymakers, and connecting policy opportunities with those who can provide assistance.
- 12. PRINCIPLES ● ‘Open Policy’: publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources ● Default aim for policy licensing: Open Definition (with preference for CC BY and CC0). ● Do not recreate the wheel; leverage expertise ● Work from existing policy recommendations: Paris OER, BOAI, Panton Principles, Communia, etc. ● Free for anyone to join. Contribute and abide by mission and guiding principles.
- 13. WORK PLAN ● Link to, catalog, and curate existing policy resources. ● Build new resources and/or services only where capacity or expertise does not currently exist. ● Connect policy makers to experts. ● Provide baseline level of assistance for all opportunities. ● Share information with openly with members and the public, using open licenses (of course), multiple languages, transparent fashion.
