Well done WE! - NZ Ministry of Education project

[Wayne Mackintosh]

Hi Everyone,

Good news for our community. The New Zealand Ministry of Education has signed off on a project to establish a national OER collaboration for New Zealand schools using WikiEducator.  The project aims to:

1. Build capability and support community development for NZ teachers working on OER.
2. Make the wiki easier to use for all teachers for authoring, searching, and reusing OER content.
3. Seed the development of OER exemplars mapped to the NZ curriculum.
   

The New Zealand Ministry of Education has agreed to fund the first year of the project outlined in this proposal:

http://wikieducator.org/Funding_proposals/Reusable_and_portable_content_for_New_Zealand_schools.

I'd like to encourage all WikiEducator teachers to take a look at the proposal and see how we may be able to replicate national OER collaborations in your respective countries. 

All our planning documentation and resources will naturally be licensed under free content licenses, which you can reuse and adpat for your local context :-). Similarly all tools developed will be freely available for adoption and use by all WikiEducators.

Well done WikiEducator --- another natioinal OER initiave for our community!

Cheers
Wayne

(Note there are a few minor tweaks on the budget allocations which must still be updated in the wiki.)
