If instructors need help with identifying public domain, CC licenses, open licenses, or publisher terms and for all remaining points on the Spectrum of Open, we encourage them to work with a local librarian or copyright expert. Please note that content found with no CC\/open license or permissions and it is not in the public domain must be considered as \u201call rights reserved\u201d under U.S. copyright. The next chapter will address the next step in selecting an OER: building search strategies.<\/p>\n<h1>Assessment<\/h1>\n<div id=\"h5p-30\">\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-30\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"30\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Assessment Module 2 Identifying OER Chapter\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h1>Learner Survey<\/h1>\n<div id=\"h5p-62\">\n<div class=\"h5p-content\" data-content-id=\"62\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"menu_order":1,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-86","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":67,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/86","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"version-history":[{"count":146,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/86\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1531,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/86\/revisions\/1531"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/67"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/86\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=86"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=86"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.hccfl.edu\/adopt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=86"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
