[Oer-community] A Global OER map?

[f.mashayekh]

Dear Susan,


"Yes",as a member of OER initiative project,I think it is helpful to have access to A Global OER map. And ,may I add,if this map could be developed  following HCI measures,and defined thematic s,it will be more helpful.


warm regards,

Dear Susan and ALL,

I am happy to be part of this epoch making discussion.


.   Would a world map to visualize the global OER landscape be useful?

(example below created from OCWC data)


My simple answer is "Yes"  It has many advantages one of which is that

the map will help others know what is available in which country

I believe that Sandara in paragraph 3 of her contributions had made

one of the strongest cases so far  for the need for OER global map.

She said,


In my "own OER" project L3T (an open scientific textbook on e-learning

in German language, http://l3t.eu) we have co-authors from Germany,

Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands and Greek ... I don't have a clue

where to add it in your map. Personally, I live in Germany and work in

Austria. Even more important seems (for me) that this is a project in

German language. Eventually, it would be helpful for others to get an

idea about the topic and materials.


Individuals are known to have dual-citizenships.  The project can

thus have multiple –citizenship if the global oer map comes into

effect. Second,   OER is about collaboration, hence her example gives

a lot of hope in terms of design and development of oer by citizens/

scholars from various nationalities working on same project, academics

sharing lecture notes etc on same topic, or course across the globe

thus enabling students, learners, researchers from different countries

to share, re-use and remix  ideas .   Third the issue of language

barrier, I could see Sandra’s project been translated simultaneously

into the native languages of the participants from the five countries.

Yes, a global OER map will be useful
