National OER Framework

It's really interesting to read this longish post from Paul Stacey describing work he has done with the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization to promote the use and development of OER at a Pan-Arab level to institutions, teachers and students, and then his visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he was hosted by Abdullah Almegren who leads the National Center for e-Learning & Distance Learning at the Ministry of Higher Education. He has a photo in the exact location I was photographed wearing the same Arab dress. I'm thinking maybe we should exchange notes. He has "been helping the US State Department with their Open Book project" while I've been engaged in MOOCs. There's a lot of overlap. And I agree with him when he writes "OER affords a cross-cultural education experience and can act as a form of diplomacy, understanding, and peace-keeping."
