Hi Everyone, With generous funding support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the OER Foundation is pleased to announce that we are able to take OER interoperability and remix potential to new levels.
Collaborating with OER projects which subscribe to licenses which meet the requirements of the free cultural works definition, WE aim to provide educators with greater freedom of choice to mix and match the best of two OER worlds, namely "producer-consumer" models with more traditional work flow approaches and commons-based peer production. This is an exciting project to build import export capability between the Connexions and WikiEducator/Mediawiki platforms. WE need your help in building better OER futures. 1. Please visit the project planning node to find out more about the project: http://wikieducator.org/CNX-WE 2. WE extend an open invitation to all Connexions authors, WikiEducator authors, editors of the Wikimedia Foundation Projects to help us achieve success with this project. 3. WE will use the Connexions mailing list on Google Groups for our discussions -- Join the list if you're interested ( http://groups.google.co.nz/group/connexions-community ) 4. Visit the mini SWOT analysis page on WikiEducator and help us understand the context and remix needs of educators and OER authors ( http://tinyurl.com/yakk4vm) 5. Consider joining our open planning team or list of active contributors (http://tinyurl.com/yed7erx ) Gee -- you gotta love open philanthropy! Let's make OER remix and interoperability futures happen for education. Cheers Wayne -- Wayne Mackintosh, Ph.D. Director, International Centre for Open Education, Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand.
