This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
dScribe, short for "digital and distributed scribes," is a participatory and collaborative model for creating open content. It brings together students, staff, faculty, and self-motivated learners to work toward the common goal of creating openly licensed content available to everyone. It was first developed at the University of Michigan to join students with faculty and staff to transform educational material into open educational resources (OER). dScribe encourages anyone interested to get involved in not only creating open content, but also generating awareness about the benefits of creating and sharing educational content with a global learning community.

If you've retained some content that was ineligible for copyright or you're making a fair use, think about tagging that content. It's nice to let others, especially international users, know what decisions you've made about your use of content. Try this deep dive on attribution practices:
{ We've included buttons where we think a challenge should exist. Can you create it? If so, we'll add it here. Also add challenges and resources where you think they fit! }
Here's (.ppt) a preformatted license and disclaimer page, an attribution key, a title page, and an additional source information page that you can insert into your resources to give a consistent look and feel to your resources.
