There are two principles on which Open.Michigan is founded:

1) Public universities have a responsibility to share the knowledge and resources they

create with the public they serve.

2) We are dedicated to increasing knowledge dissemination across

the higher education community through encouraging a culture of

sharing.

Standing on the shoulders of giants…(and sharing what you know with others)

Every artist gets asked the

question, “Where do you get your

ideas?”

The honest artist answers,

“I steal them.”

dScribe, short for "digital and distributed scribes," is a participatory and collaborative model for creating open content. It brings together enrolled students, staff, faculty, and self-motivated learners to work together toward the common goal of creating content that is openly licensed and available to people throughout the world.

OERca is a web-based content clearing application that supports the dScribe process. People engaged in the process of creating open content can use OERca to organize materials, track changes within the resource, manage rights and license information, and collaborate with others with whom you’re working to create and clear content.

In the next three years, Open.Michigan will:

① Produce more and richer content as OER with the various campus units, improve modularity, instructional design, and accessibility of U-M OER

② Increase the visibility and discoverability of U-M resources through a combination of marketing and metadata

③ Draw participants from more parts of campus to expand its disciplinary coverage

④ Ensure OER production is an embedded part of the academic life on campus

A badge is a symbol of identity, signifying a level of achievement or character, participation in an

event or activity, or belonging to a group.

Open.Michigan wants to harness the excitement created by those who share or advocate for sharing scholarly material and use that

to gain momentum in the open education movement at the

University of Michigan.

What’s next at Open.Michigan?

OER is made

and shared

across the

world!
