Hi all — sharing below a call for feedback on the OER Strategy Document that a team of us have been developing over the past few months. We’ve integrated feedback from conference sessions this spring (which many of you participated in), and we’d love to get your thoughts on the latest draft! Dear OER Colleagues, The Cape Town and Paris Declarations set the vision for the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement, including the value statements that form the basis for our work. While significant progress has been made on both expanding the availability of OER content and increasing its use around the world, OER has not yet reached its full potential of entering mainstream education on a global scale. Is now the right time for us to have a more coordinated, collaborative implementation strategy to help speed the global adoption of OER? A group of OER practitioners had the opportunity to meet and discuss what we need as a movement, what we agree on, areas where we differ, and opportunities for advancing OER globally. A small group of us then summarized these discussions, which you can find at http://tinyurl.com/oerimplemetation Using this as a starting point, we had multiple discussion with members of the international OER community at the 2015 Hewlett OER grantees meeting <http://www.iskme.org/events/oer-grantees-meeting-2015>, OER15 <https://oer15.oerconf.org/>, and Open Ed Global 2015 <http://conference.oeconsortium.org/2015/>. Comments from all three meetings were integrated into the draft document. We discussed: 1. Do we need a coordinated OER implementation strategy to take the movement forward? 2. If so, do we have the opportunities right? What other opportunities are there? 3. If not, do you see other ways in which those of us working in OER can better collaborate? We are attempting to create a document that serves as a snapshot of the OER movement today, outlines opportunities, provides ideas and suggestions for action and collaboration, and serves as another marker document that will form a base for our future work. We also hope that this document, and the strategies within, will evolve as the conversation evolves to provide useful insight for both global coordination and local action. For the immediate future, we would like to focus the conversations within the OER community. We encourage you to share this document and hold conversations in your OER networks, conferences, seminars and meet-ups. Our goal is to end with a document that is a useful foundation for effective strategy development.
