Accepted Answer

Verify the video's license and confirm that embedding is permitted by the creator

OERs are teaching and learning materials that are freely accessible and typically released under open licenses (such as Creative Commons) that allow educators to reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute them.

Accepted Answer

Release their adaptations under the same or a compatible open license

The 'SA' (ShareAlike) condition requires that derivative works be released under the same or a compatible Creative Commons license, ensuring that open resources remain open.

Question 5

Which strategy BEST supports academic integrity in an online course?
