Support and helpful information

If you have any questions about OER or are looking for support, take a look here:

If you have general questions about OER in teaching , please contact the UOL's university didactics department

If you publish on twillo, you can use the weekly twillo-Thursday to get very specific help with your own OER. These open office hours are accessible without registration via BBB (see links and times there)

If you are interested in networking on OER topics, you can visit the Academic Cloud Hub* (cross-university) in the OER Space.
*If you are not yet registered there, click here:
Welcome to the Academic Cloud Hub - Academic Cloud Hub. As part of a university, a new member can log in to the hub with the federated login and selection of the appropriate institution via single sign-on.

What are CC licences?

How do I cite OER? The TULLU(-B) rule

If OER are used or adapted for your own materials, the sources must be cited correctly. But how?

The TULLU rule, or the TULLU-B rule, as described by twillo at https://www.twillo.de/oer/web/oer-nutzen-und-erstellen/ in step 2: "Integrating openly licenced materials from other authors", can help here.

TULLU (-B) is an acronym and stands for:

T-title: enter the title, exactly as the originators did
U-originators: indicate who created the material
L-Licence: indicate the licence under which this material is available
L-licence text:

indicate the exact licence text for this licence by link (in the version of the "Legal Code", see here")
U-Origin:

give the link where exactly you found the original material
B-editing: If applicable, indicate whether and which edits have been made to a material

You can decide for yourself where to place the information - directly at the point where you use third-party material (e.g. if you have inserted an image) or collectively, e.g. at the beginning or end of your new material (similar to a source reference).

Explanatory video on the TULLU rule (duration: > 1 min.)

Source: "How do I recognise other people's OER in my material?" by Ly Lutter for twillo, CC BY-ND 4.0.

The source above shows how the TULLU (-B) rule was applied to the video:

Title - How do I acknowledge others' OER in my material?
Originator - Ly Lutter for twillo
Licence - CC BY-ND 4.0
Licence text - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode.de
Origin - https://av.tib.eu/media/62511
(Since the licence contains the "ND" (= No Derivatives = no editing) component, no changes may be made).

How you compile this information is up to you - as a table, in list form, as text, etc. - as long as the information is clear and easy to find in your material.

If users do not have the opportunity to click on the short links provided, the links are also written out: "How do I make others' OER recognisable in my material?"(https://av.tib.eu/media/62511) by Ly Lutter for twillo, CC BY-ND 4.0(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode.de).

If you have any questions about the TULLU rule, please come along to a Stammtisch meeting or ask your question via Mattermost.

Explanatory video series on the topic "Create SOUVER@N OER: From the idea to the finished material"
