policy updates
a. The General Conference of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted the Education 2030 Framework for Action (in early November). This is particularly exciting for the Open Education community, as this framework calls for OER to be part of the agreed-upon action items to ensure equal access to affordable, high-quality education. More information is available here: http://www.oeconsortium.org/2015/11/education-2030-includes-oer/
b. OECD has just released a new publication: OER: A Catalyst for Innovation. The entire publication is relevant. Chapter 11 will be of particular interest to members of this groups because it looks at “Public policy interventions to improve teaching and learning through open educational resources (OER).” The full text can be accessed here: http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/open-educational-resources_9789264247543-en
