Dear Stephan,


Indeed,this is the right  question which is   raised,as Stephan remind 
us:"If technology is the answer ,then what is the question?The question ,as 
I understand , the pedagogy.


In our complex and digitally connected world,there is need for a global 
pedagogy to assist  technology.And this is the real responsibility of an 
efficient oer- community.

By efficient  I mean:being pusher theoretically,and doer practically 
towards solving one of the collective bottlenecks in our respective 
countries,towards a sustainable world..


with best regards,


Farideh Mashayekh

I also am not sure of the purpose a map would serve. Certainly a listing of 
OER initiatives and their properties (a 'mapping') would be useful. But an 
actual map, as a visual representation, might make a good presentation 
slide, but beyond that is too static to be useful. Of course I ciuld be 
misreading the intent of the enterprise.
