Hi Pete, Just created a link to the WP "open research" article off your http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Communicate_OER_Content page
You'll also notice Wayne is suggesting the idea of an open (research) journal https://groups.google.com/d/topic/wikieducator/QqqfdUJvcVI/discussion So we're beginning to see R&E come together in the OER (and a few other) space(s). As far as the primary linkaging with WP is concerned, I suppose Daniel Mietchen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen> - Wikimedian in Residence on Open Science<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedian_in_Residence_on_Open_Science>and interested in linking OER with Open Access and Wikimedia - is the key pin. Open science and Open research being 2 degrees apart. Now i understand that the aim of your project is to "(*Communicate OER* is a collaborative effort) to improve Wikipedia articles relating to open educational resources<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_educational_resources>(OER). But are you doing anything in the development of an OER eco-system? e.g. Do a Google. End up on a WP page, AND THEN.... (e.g.) be directed by a link, or reference to an interactive space where one can get more info, or maybe register for a course. I'm having a discussion in quite a few places at the moment about the convergence between old broadcast media and (let's say) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Studies_2.0 . I would think " Patrina Law<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:HigherEdPatrina&action=edit&redlink=1>. I am the Senior Manager for Strategic Projects at the Open University" would have an interest here, especially as OUUK have a relationaship with the BBC. E.g. http://www.open.edu/openlearn/whats-on/ou-on-the-bbc-week I keep on looking at that header on every WP page "Discuss how more than 10 million US dollars could benefit the Wikimedia movement" and thinking "yep". But it would need to look at the convergence between broadcast and interactive media from an OER perspective. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
