Wayne I have read many times recently that "UNESCO coined the term OER at a conference in 2002". I wonder if it is accurate to say it that way. I just read David Wileys paper history of OER http://www.hewlett.org/uploads/files/HistoryofOER.pdf and as far as I can see the term is not accredited to UNESCO itself but to a forum of experts.
Might there be some of those people who participated in that 2002 forum on this list. Could they clear this issue up and tell me did UNESCO the organization coin the term or not?
