The Map of OER and OEP initiatives "Serendipity" http://serendipity.utpl.edu.ec/map/ was developed in 2012 at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL) in Ecuador in collaboration with the OCW Institutions, with the idea of map OCW, MOOCS and OER repositories.
Sophie Touzé has written the report Open Educational Resources in France: Overview, Perspectives and Recommendations for UNESCO.
In this report she describes the current state of open education in France and she gives recommendations for Open Education in France.
The Open Education Professional Directory has launched! The purpose of the directory is to provide a searchable index of open education professionals, their areas of expertise, locations, language ability, etc. Open education professionals will be able to more easily find colleagues for joint projects and other collaborations, while providing greater exposure and visibility for individuals and the open education movement.
Individuals who would like to be added to the Directory need to fill out the form: http://www.oeconsortium.org/projects/open-education-professional-directory/. The searchable directory will be available on our website by August 2014
Earlier this week, we kicked off the Open Policy Network. We announced that the first project within the Network is the Institute for Open Leadership. The Institute for Open Leadership is a training program to develop new leaders in education, science, public policy, and other fields on the values and implementation of openness in licensing, policies, and practices. The Institute is looking for passionate public- and private-sector professionals interested in learning more about openness and wish to develop and implement an open policy in their field.
