4-5 March 2008, Ljubljana, Slovenia

For this workshop series members have prioritised:

• Providing guidelines for users/teachers/producers
• Rights management (Digital Rights Management, Creative Commons, Protection of rights, Identity management…)
• Rights clearance practices
• Strategies for providing copyright cleared material for education

34 representatives from 19 members participated. The workshop agenda featured a mix between interactive group sessions and presentations from members and external experts:

• Mindmapping session exploring the current practise of repositories in relation to rights issues and identifying the most important focus points.
• Matthias Klang (legal lead Creative Commons, Sweden) led an Ask the expert session to clarify questions from members and point to best practise examples.
• Group based discussion session (documented via Members Zone forum) on what guidance should be provided to teachers when using or depositing digital content from/in repositories. Focus was on establishing knowledge on current practise and how, when and where information should be presented in order to be most effective.
• Presentations by members and external experts are available from the Members Zone. A number of the presentations will also be publicly available as streamed video presentations from the EdReNe website at the end of March 2008:
