I added this to the Sugar Labs OER page today. It replaces OER
Recommender, which I previously listed. It has something like 110,000
links.

Also, please look at the other links on my page.

 Countries

    Bangladesh is the first country we know of to digitize a complete
set of textbooks for grades 1-12. Resources listed below.

    Uruguay is seeking up to 1,000 digital learning resources in a
Request For Proposals (RFP). The Sugar Labs Replacing Textbooks
program wanted to offer some to them, but it turned out to be
impractical.

    South Korea has announced a plan to digitize all of its textbooks
and to provide all students with computers.

>>> But first let me give a bit of background.  For an exploration of mapping OER, it seemed like a good idea to have a sample map.  As Patrick McAndrew mentioned in his message, I had the privilege of spending some time at the Open University and had a chance to learn about the work done there, and some of the options and issues relating to mapping.  Patrick and his group, Simon Buckingham Shum and his colleagues and Teresa Connolly raised many of the issues that are being raised in this discussion.

>>> The sample map was developed with Google map and with data and generous help from the Open CourseWare Consortium (OCWC).  OCWC has an international membership and it made a good data set for the purpose of creating an example.

>>> Let’s go back to the message of Kathy Nicholson of the Hewlett Foundation (that has funded the support of this community while at UNESCO and now in the UNESCO/COL Chair), Mary Lou Forward, Patrick McAndrew and the many thoughts sprinkled through the the course of the week on what a map could be useful for, and especially Helen and Mark’s comments .

>>> Then explore the “simple sample” map at http://oerworldmap.oerknowledgecloud.org/ .
>>>
>>> For any of you who have trouble accessing the link, a screen shot is below.
>>>
>>> The map represents the three categories of membership of OCWC and you can see these by colour coding.  If you only want to see one category, such as institutions, click on the arrow in the window under Filter.  Then click on Institution of Higher Education – and you will only see members who are institutions.  This gives an idea of how a classification of OER initiatives might be presented – although there are more visual ways of doing that.
