Hi Everyone, I see - sounds like a great bid to create even more confusion after all of the energy devoted to building brand and awareness around OERs.
Let's see - how about a Facebook campaign to get UNESCO to change their name to: "United Nations of the Developing and Developed World supporting Freely/Not So Freely and Open / Not So Open Educational, Scientific and Technical, Cultural, Artistic and Media Organization / Entity. That's a new mouthful for everyone to chew on. But hey - UNESCO as an acronym stands alone - just like OER. - Randy On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 7:09 AM, Gita Mathur <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank You Steve for the information. > OER's to “FOERSTER” > “Open Educational Resources”, or OERs. > From 1st April on, they are to be known as “Freely/Openly Enabled > Resources Supporting Training, Education, and Research”. > The change will include resources related to training and research. > Warm wishes > Gita Mathur > > On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 10:50 AM, Steve Foerster <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Unesco has announced that they are discontinuing the "OER" acronym in > > favor of a longer but more inclusive term!
