ccLearn monthly update – Apr 15

It’s tax day here in the USA, but let’s look to more interesting things. I will endeavor to send out an update, perhaps in newsletter form, of key ccLearn activities and plans every month or so, in addition to any announcements or interviews that we post to the site. As we continue to develop our internal capacities to manage communications and projects, I expect that these things will become more streamlined.

我们仍然在努力工作,考虑到寻找和创建开放教育资源的挑战,也与现有的OER项目的网络和研究。当我们测试并推出这些(希望是有用的)工具时,请关注这一领域的未来公告。

We are also engaged in planning for a regional meeting among open education projects and CC jurisdictions in Latin America. This is just the first of several planned meeting in different regions of the world to enable greater collaboration and coherence among OER projects globally. We will announce further details about this and hoped-for future meetings as details become available.

We are helping too in planning the education track at this year’siSummit. The iSummit promises to be an interesting opportunity to engage with open education projects in East Asia and beyond and to consider collective actions that can help to broaden and deepen the impact of the open education movement.

If you haven’t checked out the rest of theccLearn websitelately, you might pay a visit to theResourcespage, where we are continuing to compile resources of interest to educators and everyone involved in open education. Also, we have gathered in one place some of the top sites forsearching educational contenton the web. This site is intended to help people find educational resources, but also demonstrates the challenge we face in making such searches easier.

ccLearn will be present at the upcomingOCWC meeting in Dalian, China. We’ll report on that meeting afterwards.
