Futures Initiative

The Futures Initiative aims to advance greater equity and innovation in higher education. Housed at the Graduate Center and reaching throughout the CUNY community, the Futures Initiative empowers the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, public, and engaged teaching and learning. The Futures Initiative fosters greater understanding of the complexities of the higher education landscape by spearheading qualitative and quantitative research in areas such as academic labor practices and reward systems, open-access multimedia publishing, data visualization and interpretation, and institutional change. Through HASTAC@CUNY (a hub of the online network Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory), the Futures Initiative extends its collaborative peer-to-peer practices across institutions, disciplines, national boundaries, and economic and social disparities, promoting reinvestment in higher education as a public good.

    OpenLab Open Pedagogy Event: Copyright and Attribution in Open Digital Pedagogy

    • When: Thursday September 28th, 2017, 5:30-7:00pm (Faculty Commons, N227)
    • Where: New York City College of Technology, Namm 227. More info below.
    • RSVP: Comment here to let us know you\’ll be joining us!

    Join the OpenLab Team, City Tech faculty and staff, and CUNY colleagues at our next Open Pedagogy event, where we’ll be discussing copyright and attribution in open digital pedagogy. Working with and amongst our students and colleagues via digital pedagogy raises exciting possibilities for sharing, remixing and evolving the pedagogical work of the university. In addition, it raises important questions about intellectual property, scholarship, pedagogy, and the nature of digital communication. During this event, we’ll have a discussion about how to best cultivate an ethic of sharing and reuse while creating a community around attribution.

    Our conversation will be guided by the following questions:

    • What is a Creative Commons license and how does it differ from traditional copyright?
    • What are the ethics of sharing and using the materials we produce as a community of scholars and educators?
    • What does Creative Commons and open licensing mean for our pedagogical practices?
    • How do we communicate to our students that their work is also intellectual property, to which the ethics of copyright, attribution and sharing apply?

    Want to learn more about copyright and attribution in ODP? Here are a few short pieces for reference:
