Dear all, dear Pete,
We're currently running a project for Leicester City Council (UK), seeking
to promote the update and sharing of OER within secondary schools. I really
think this is a visionary step - and I am not aware of other (UK) councils
doing this. The aim is to produce guidance materials for teachers (as well
as ideas for teacher workshops), on the use/re-use/sharing/remixing of OER,
from various aspects (including, but not restricted to, legal
considerations).
We'd love to involve the wider community in this. Is this something that
people on this list would like to take an interest in? Do you want to
participate as a community? Or are there others who would like to
participate individually?
While we are producing a set of pdfs for Leicester, we do want to host the
materials in as many places as possible - and of course could place them in
the relevant wiki spaces - what do you think?
All the best,
Bjoern
