[Oer-community] OER mapping - Welcome and introduction to Week 1

[Sandra Schön]

Dear Susan and All,

additionally:

within L3T we developed a map of all authors within this OER project
http://l3t.eu/homepage/framed/go?url=http%3A%2F%2Fl3t.tugraz.at%2F~mb%2F

and we visualised the downloads of our chapters in a map:
http://l3t.tugraz.at/~mb/unis.php

if this is interesting for you, please contact martin.ebner at tugraz.at

best wishes,
Sandra
