A Guide to Good OER Stewardship - Lindsay McKenzie, Inside Higher Ed

The CARE Framework, published today, is co-written by Petrides; Douglas Levin, founder and president of the consultancy firm EdTech Strategies; and C. Edward Watson, chief information officer at the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The purpose of the framework is to articulate how individuals and organizations that use OER can help the movement grow in a way that is sustainable and “consistent with the community’s values.” The CARE Framework encourages good OER stewards to: "Contribute" via financial or in-kind contributions to "advance the awareness, improvement, and distribution of OER." "Attribute" by making sure that those who create or remix OER are "properly and clearly credited" for their contributions. "Release" by ensuring that OER can be shared and used outside the platform in which it is was created or delivered. "Empower" by striving to make OER meet the needs of all learners, and supporting the participation of diverse voices in OER creation and adoption. https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/article/2018/03/05/advocates-develop-framework-stewardship-open-educational
