Reflections on the second session gives me an insight on OER and how to use them. Who are the owners of the copysright and how to manage them. Ownership of ideas is really a matter that I ponder with and I deeply think about the matter that who should own the ideas, the sponsoror or the creator?  This matter is more often complex in the digital world where new ideas take a long time to be come out but are shared in the click of the mouse worldwide. Misuse of the propriety rights is a matter of concern in this digital world.

 The definition of OER is the area I foray into next and the best one that I found is the following that of the Creative Commons:Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials in any medium that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. I like this option mainly because of the term "re-purposing" as the same OER can be used for a different purpose in a different situation.  A certain OER will not be used for the same purpose by all.  Also the open license is another requirement that must be fulfilled before trying to publish any OER into the digital world. OER benefits and myths are the area that are dealt in the concluding part of this session. Indeed the OER university network, is a great new idea and a novel partnership of 13 founding anchor partners. This will help in the way to formalise the learrning through OER for those learnsers who very much informally study the OER units and sessions.  Thus those from the economically backward classes would definitely gain by doing this  and paying less amount of fees in the process by accumulating credits through OER formal learning sessions. 

The OpenLearn project will definitely help in catalysing these activities and for larger participation. Also the idea that OER is inferior means that the teaching community is embarrassed to share their own teaching materials is a joke indeed. I really like it. This shows that those who do not have faith in OER do not have a faith in their own teaching itself and is afraid to share their experiences with others and is afraid to be caught of teaching in an inferior way. The OpenTextbook tweet was very much enjoyable indeed#OCL4Ed
