Introduction to Leigh Blackall's post about Otago Polytechnic’s adoption of a Creative Commons Attribution copyright license and its use of the Wikieducator platform - along with many of the popular media sharing services, to develop and publish Open Educational Resources.

I want to welcome Leigh Blackall and thank him for agreeing to contribute to the Impact of Open Source Software and Open Educational Resources on Education series on Terra Incognita. His post is scheduled to appear on November 28th, 2007 (eastern U.S.). Leigh will be writing about Otago Polytechnic’s adoption of a Creative Commons Attribution copyright license and its use the Wikieducator platform - along with many of the popular media sharing services, to develop and publish Open Educational Resources. In this post Leigh will outline the steps that the Polytechnic has taken in developing this new capacity, as well as some of the challenges being faced, and the vision for their future.
