This is definitely a news to be celebrated with Way(i)ne!!! I think, it will provide a great boost to learning content development in the Commonwealth. Though training 2500 educators is a huge task. It is possible by identifying the right institutions, and committed individuals. So, it is important to identify institutions that commit to OER, and also provide release time for teachers to develop content for WikiEducator as part of their own professional development. Big dreams in deed for a big cause...
