[Oer-community] Revisiting the issue of collaboration

[N/A]

Kim,


I fully agree with your positioning:"WE are a (professional) community  linked by ideas and initiatives,and not restricted by geographical boundaries..."Therefore,there is need fore collecting information in our region collaboratively ,based on criteria approved for a Global OER Concept Mapping.For doing this ,we need as mentioned by a colleague :"an Awareness program".

Susan,
I'm not sure I understand the benefit.  We are a community linked by ideas and initiatives, and not restricted by geographical boundaries.  I think that's actually our best feature.  Is this request made because some are considering a face-to-face initiative, or because there are specific regional needs that may only be met by those within the region?  If it is the latter, I think the best solution would a data search function that allows users to access by the required criterea.

Dear colleagues,

To follow up on the several messages related to organizing collaboration for data collection, would it be feasible to consider regional or national hubs?

Best,

Susan

Dear colleagues

It is really nice an encouraging seeing all
the contributions and sharing experiences that have been pulled together these
last days.
An unexpected trip makes it difficult for
me to participate before but now hopefully I can catch up

When I first meet Susan last year in NY
one of the topics that we immediately started talking was the mapping and the
concept of sharing knowledge
Since then at the OAS Educational Portal of the Americas
we have been trying to spread the word to make the movement stronger in our
region (the 34 countries that are part of the OAS in the Americas)

We would love to explore the idea of collecting
information in our region collaboratively with countries and other institutions.

We have also been discussing the
possibility of an “Awareness program” in our region since one of the conclusion
of a virtual dialogue we had as part of our Summits process last year showed
that there is a tremendous need for that too

Love to continue talking with all of you and
see how we collectively can make a difference

Dear Tamar,



Which organization or institution in the region would be able to
establish such a database?



Best,



Susan

Dear Susan, Dear Colleagues,



I think that weather information is gathered locally or regionally
depends on a particular region. For example, for Caucasus
it would be better to establish a regional database of OER resources, because
the amount of local OER is not so big yet.



Kindest regards,

Tamar

Open Access Map - lessons for OER?



Dear Colleagues,



If we are to consider the appropriate organization for creating a list
of all OER Institutional initiatives, Alma's
message points to an approach that might be appropriate for the OER community
at large (not just our group).



She spoke of "crowdsourcing" - using a form on the web page
for submission of information by individuals..



If we were to start to create a simple database (that could create a
list or a visual map) - aiming at a comprehensive list of institutional
projects for a start, could the information be collected and checked locally or
regionally, as one message suggested?



Best,



Susan
