Apology for repost -- forgot to copy all the lists. 

Hi Tim,

UNESCO convened and hosted the meeting where a "forum of experts"  coined the term OER. UNESCO is commonly attributed as the convener of the meeting where the term was coined.  

Cheers

I  have read many times  recently that  "UNESCO coined the term OER  at a conference in 2002".   I wonder if it is accurate to say it that way.   I just read David Wileys paper  history of  OER http://www.hewlett.org/uploads/files/HistoryofOER.pdf  and as far as I can see the term is not accredited to UNESCO itself  but to a forum of  experts.  

Might there be some of those people who participated in that 2002 forum on this list. Could they clear this issue up and tell me  did UNESCO the organization coin the term or not?

Cheers

Tim
