UNESCO OER Toolkit

As the next step in its Open Educational Resource (OER) initiative, UNESCO has released this discussion paper on an OER toolkit. The paper itself is in a wiki, while the discussion is happening in the UNESCO OER online forum. It's a very compressed discussion - only three or four days for each of the paper's eight sections. It's pretty good so far but it needs work - I'd like to see the "core areas and concepts of education" aligned with the UNESCO survey from just a few months ago (see, eg., p. 12 of The Way Forward) - or at the very least, a reference put in place. And as before, I will say, I don't always think they say exactly the right things, but they are going about this project in mostly the right way, getting more open at each step.
