Thanks Christina
This is a really clear explanation of both the process and the comments. I'm very much in agreement with you about considering open data and open source software and hardware as part of OERs.

*Dear Colleagues,Thanks to Nichole for sharing this great news! At
WMUK,
we have recently carried out at a research exploring the potentials
of
Wikimedia projects in digital and information literacy development.
We
propose a framework of skills and education modules based on the
framework
in the WM context, that are relevant for SDG4.*
*Although the document has a focus on the UK, other chapters and user groups might benefit from our work, and use its findings to develop a similar approach to integrate WM, OER, and digital skill education,
taking
into account, of course, local environmental factors. Please find the document attached.*
Wishing you a nice day,
WMUK team

have
three things to offer that may help (if you - or someone else -
would
be
willing to investigate where they could fit in!) I have
co-authored
two
conference papers - one in Greek and one in English - on the use
of
Wikipedia as an OER (Greek) and teaching cultural heritage with
the
Wikimedia projects (English). The third is a vision paper on Open
Education
in Europe 2030 (this has been published on their website). If you
think
these would help I would be happy to send links :)
