The UNESCO Open Educational Resources (OERs) discussion has started, with the first topic being the question of taking OERs beyond the OER community. I'm not sure exactly what that is, but my sole contribution thus far is a plea to think of contributors as more than just institutions andf consumers as more than just school teachers. Even this reconstrued it's an uphill climb. Mike Caulfield writes, "Here's the first thing I realized on getting back - we haven't got over our crush on producers." Producers are the rock stars, re-users are... what? Potential pirates? Possible plagiarists?
