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

[f.mashayekh]

Dear Susan,


In order to facilitate visualization of OERu certainly a geographical mapping is helpful.But ,I think in term of content and context ,what is more needed and helpful is a" concept mapping" of standardized OERu,in which ,as a user we could access the most critical issues related to our planet earth.Certainly ,the perquisite for developing such a map is to work collaboratively to define a global curriculum syllabus,in relation to millennium goals,and sustainable development.Could it be possible? or feasible?

Dear Teobaldo,

Adding subject are would certainly add to the description of an initiative and be very useful for searching.  The UNESCO
International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) might serve.  http://www.unesco.org/education/information/nfsunesco/doc/isced_1997.htm .

Do any others want to comment?

Best,

Susan

Dear Susan,

I think the information and the levels of stratification (Mark I, Mark 2 and Mark 3) to obtain greater detail about the OER project is perfect, but considering the summary prepared by Sara, I suggest adding in Mark 3 - * Academic discipline / subject area predominant of the OER Project to facilitate the search, which can be:  general, health, engineering, K12, High Ed, etc..
All the best, Teobaldo Rivas

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
