[Oer-community] Re Miguel's comments on summarizing

[Susan D'Antoni]

Dear Miguel and all,

Preparing the summary of data elements from the discussions for my message
yesterday, I only put forward what people seemed to identify as the
absolutely essential information.  And the focus was on OER projects or
initiatives.

The following is the rest of the list I had prepared with "other"
information - and why it might be useful.



*   Initiatives language(s) was of high concern for promoting collaboration
and networking


*   Initiative start date and end date would track the pattern of projects
over time


*   Type of initiative ( such as OER creation, repository, directory, etc.)
would need an agreed upon classification


*   Brief descrition of initiative to allow the



*   Level of education would allow for sorting of projects of different
levels of education if eventual mapping covered all levels


*   Main subject area(s) also



*   Institution/Institutional consortium name, and web site would associate
the OER initiative as institutional or consortium or netowork



But your list and my list lead us back to what is feasible to collect,
because all data collection, maintenance and updating has a cost - it is
not free.


Best,


Susan
