Hi Everyone, Wow -- it's been an impressive week with a number of publications and press releases recognising our hard work as an OER community . Barbara Chow, Director of Education Program at The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation has prepared a short paper on copyright and OER which is currently being used as a resource for the UNESCO / COL international discussion forum on "Taking OER beyond the OER community".
For the benefit of WikiEducators who are not participating in the form, I include a copy of Barbara's thoughts on OER for your information which you can download from WikiEducator: http://wikieducator.org/File:WHFF-Copyright_and_OER.pdf A time for WikiEducator to celebrate again -- The OERF and WE is cited as an exemplar project for adapting, modifying and publishing OER in a cost effective way. Congratulations to all WikiEducators who have been working tirelessly to make education more accessible for all.
