Hi Valerie, The Community College Open Textbook Project is a great OER initiative. I'm particularly impressed with the consortium approach and collaboration among North American colleges. We're very keen to emulate national OER initiatives here in New Zealand and have hosted an initial think tank to explore opportunities and pathways for building a national OER initiative. (http://www.wikieducator.org/Heywire8_Think_Tank ). Any advice or suggestions CCCOER can provide us will be well received.
I'm also very keen for us to explore opportunities for collaboration with CCCOER --- perhaps WE could contribute to the realisation of our collective aims by providing an avenue for implementing the peer collaboration model of OER production to supplement and augment your consortium efforts.
