OER interoperability : WikiEducator, Mediawiki and Connexions
Barbara Dieu
Hi Everyone,
With generous funding support from the William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation, the OER Foundation is pleased to announce that we are able
to take OER interoperability and remix potential to new levels.
Collaborating with OER projects which subscribe to licenses which meet
the requirements of the free cultural works definition, WE aim to
provide educators with greater freedom of choice to mix and match the
best of two OER worlds, namely "producer-consumer" models with more
traditional work flow approaches and commons-based peer production.
This is an exciting project to build import export capability between
the Connexions and WikiEducator/Mediawiki platforms.
WE need your help in building better OER futures.
1. Please visit the project planning node to find out more about
the project: http://wikieducator.org/CNX-WE
2. WE extend an open invitation to all Connexions authors,
WikiEducator authors, editors of the Wikimedia Foundation Projects to
help us achieve success with this project.
3. WE will use the Connexions mailing list on Google Groups for our
discussions -- Join the list if you're interested
(http://groups.google.co.nz/group/connexions-community )
4. Visit the mini SWOT analysis page on WikiEducator and help us
understand the context and remix needs of educators and OER authors

5. Consider joining our open planning team or list of active
contributors (http://tinyurl.com/yed7erx )
Gee -- you gotta love open philanthropy! Let's make OER remix and
interoperability futures happen for education.
Cheers
Wayne
