[Oer-community] Our discussion of essential information for a map...

[Susan D'Antoni]

Dear Colleagues,

On Friday, I tried to nudge the discussion back onto the issue of what
information would be essential for an OER world map.  Can I try again.....

The sample map at http://oerworldmap.oerknowledgecloud.org/ has 3 different
levels of information if you use the Filter and go to Markers 1,2,3.  This
is just to show one way of giving people a quick entry point for
information about an OER initiative.  (The text of the markers is below)

Looking at these and thinking about the elements of information identified
in discussion last week (see Sara's summary), does anyone wish to comment
on this issue further?

Best,


Susan
