Do you have a story about creating or using a free and open learning resource? A project creating a global 'map' of open educational resources (OERs) has issued a call for OER stories. "These could be OER projects or initiatives, Open Educational Practices like someone generating OER or teaching with OER, the development of guidelines & institutional policies on OER, new insights and research on OER, as well as the development or use of helpful infrastructure tools for OER." This addresses one of my major concerns about an OEE mapping exercise, which is that such an initiative will tend to favour established and institutional OER repositories, and to ignore the much large bulk of creativity and sharing that happens outside the institutional space. So I encourage you to send your story, and give them a wider perspective on the creation and use of free and open learning resources.
