CC is looking for examples of OER related policies, at every level from
govt to school. Do you know of any?
Check out our call for help below.
Thanks!

Greetings Open Colleagues,
The open community shares a need for more information to help us with our
work. We know, for example, there are many policies supporting open
education at institutions and governments throughout the world. Many of us
know some of these policies, but it would be extremely helpful if we had a
single database of open education policies, from around the world, that the
entire community could access and update.
To meet this goal, Creative Commons (CC) has received a small grant to
create an “OER Policy Registry.” The Open Education Resources (OER) Policy
Registry will be a place for policy makers and open advocates to easily
share and update OER legislation, OER institutional policies and supporting
OER policy resources. We have begun to enter OER policies into the
registry, but we need your help to make it a truly useful global resource.
The open movement is reaching a stage where we've had some real, concrete
OER policy victories and there is the potential to achieve many more.
Sharing our collective knowledge of existing OER policies, in the same way
we believe in sharing educational resources, will help advocates and
policymakers worldwide be more successful.
*Will you please:*
1. *Contribute any OER policies you know about* on this form:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE5GSHVONzBBX1lMa1dSZWR1UmtPOFE6MQ
1. We are collecting both legislative AND institutional
(non-legislative) OER policies from around the world. Your form
submissions
will be added to this draft list of OER policies.
1. *Review the draft list of OER policies*:
https://docs.google.com/a/creativecommons.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqx2YcmBjqvbdE5GSHVONzBBX1lMa1dSZWR1UmtPOFE#gid=0
1. If any entries need to be fixed, please email us at
[email protected]
1. *Forward this message to your colleagues, to your lists, blogs, and
other channels*, to ensure that we get as much input as possible. As the
OER movement is global, it is critical that we capture OER policies from
around the world.
Everyone can add OER policies to the google form for the next month.
Beginning on May 1, the OER Policy Registry will move to the Creative
Commons (CC) Wiki. Anyone will be able to edit the OER Policy Registry on
the CC Wiki, and all wiki text will be licensed under CC BY.
We're starting with a google form because (a) it's easy and (b) wikis
require you to create an account before editing, and that may be a barrier
to participation.
CC is in contact with other projects that started to collect similar
information, including UNESCO, CoL, the Florida Distance Learning
Consortium, EU OCW and a project in New Zealand. We will add OER policy
data they gather as it becomes available. If anyone knows of other efforts
to gather OER policies, please send them to Anna Daniel:
[email protected] and we will reach out to them too.
If you have any suggestions or feedback on the content and/or framework,
please let us know.
Warmest regards and thank you!<http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/32072>
