Open Content Toolkit http: //opencontenttoolkit. wikispaces. com/

Aims To develop strategies and frameworks that will identify or kickstart potential learning activities that can help schools, teachers & students engage with, and take advantage of the growing wealth of open media archives available online. British Library (Public Domain)

Helps teachers and learners gain a practical and usable understanding of Copyright and IP

Discovery Open media archives contain resources that provide : 1. Primary evidence for study and research in different fields, subjects and disciplines 2. Assets to use in multi-modal projects and documents 3. Assets you can reshare and publish

Curation Gather, evaluate, assemble and share using online curation tools including Pinterest, Scoop-it, Flickr , Pearltrees, . Storify

Crowdsourced Curation The value will come from the curation collections, and process, not the tools itself. Crowdsourced tagging and expert tagging are involved here

Digital Narratives Using still images in conjunction with audio and motion (Ken Burns effect) has a very powerful impact on audiences, and is easily achievable in school these days. Here are two interpretations of the song Pretty Saro, one by filmmaker Jennifer Lebeau with Bob Dylan’s version, the other by Tim Riordan uses an openly licenced version of the song by Piers Cawley. Both use examples use the 1930 s - 40 s images from the US Library of Congress on Flickr Commons.

Online Quizzes, MC etc Google Doc (Forms) make it easy to create quizzes and surveys using images, video

Hand Colouring old photographs Many of the B&W photographs and illustrations from the BL digital collection on Flickr can be considered suitable for hand colouring The example here used a free online browser based photo-editing software to try and recreate the ‘traditional’ hand coloured look. However one could take a much more radical approach with some of the

Then & Now - Film Archives Combining today’s simple digital cameras, mobile devices with the availability of historic images and easy to use editing software (including online tools) we have a great opportunity to bring past and present together in video formats. Here is a remarkable example of a Then and Now video mixing contemporary footage with the work of the 1920 s, cinematographer Claude Friese-Greene. See also: History.

Annotated Images There a number of online tools that let you add interactive (hypertext) notes and comments to online images you discover or upload. You can add extra information from Wikipedia, You. Tube and share on social media. Perhaps, hyperlink images to each other to create a digital story or ask visitors to add notes, fill in missing information, for example faces, signs or objects. One needs to recognise that these kind of open tools could lend themselves to ‘mischief making’.
