Part three of the Library Open Educational Resources Series on Open Licensing Tools.

Open Licensing Tools:
1. Open Education Licensing Toolkit
The Open Education Licensing Toolkit was developed by Swinburne University and the University of Tasmania in 2016 to support the use and development of Open Educational Resources. It has delivered practical licensing resources to assist Australian higher education institutions in delivering open online education. If this is your first time visiting the OEL Toolkit, you may like to watch this video: Toolkit Demonstration.
