Greetings Open Colleagues,
The open community shares a need for more information to help us with
our work. We know, for example, there are many policies supporting
open education at institutions and governments throughout the world.
Many of us know some of these policies, but it would be extremely
helpful if we had a single database of open education policies, from
around the world, that the entire community could access and update.
To meet this goal, Creative Commons (CC) has received a small grant to
create an “OER Policy Registry.” The Open Education Resources (OER)
Policy Registry will be a place for policy makers and open advocates
to easily share and update OER legislation, OER institutional policies
and supporting OER policy resources. We have begun to enter OER
policies into the registry, but we need your help to make it a truly
useful global resource.
The open movement is reaching a stage where we've had some real,
concrete OER policy victories and there is the potential to achieve
many more. Sharing our collective knowledge of existing OER policies,
in the same way we believe in sharing educational resources, will help
advocates and policymakers worldwide be more successful.
Will you please:
(1) Contribute any OER policies you know about on this form. http://goo.gl/9TmUV
We are collecting both legislative AND institutional (non-
legislative) OER policies from around the world. Your form submissions
will be added to this draft list of OER policies.
(2) Review the draft list of OER policies. http://goo.gl/i6i9W
If any entries need to be fixed, please email us at
o...@creativecommons.org
(3) Forward this message to your colleagues, to your lists, blogs, and
other channels, to ensure that we get as much input as possible. As
the OER movement is global, it is critical that we capture OER
policies from around the world.
Everyone can add OER policies to the google form for the next month.
Beginning on May 1, the OER Policy Registry will move to the Creative
Commons (CC) Wiki. Anyone will be able to edit the OER Policy Registry
on the CC Wiki, and all wiki text will be licensed under CC BY.
We're starting with a google form because (a) it's easy and (b) wikis
require you to create an account before editing, and that may be a
barrier to participation.
CC is in contact with other projects that started to collect similar
information, including UNESCO, CoL, the Florida Distance Learning
Consortium, EU OCW and a project in New Zealand. We will add OER
policy data they gather as it becomes available. If anyone knows of
other efforts to gather OER policies, please send them to Anna Daniel:
an...@creativecommons.org and we will reach out to them too.
If you have any suggestions or feedback on the content and/or
framework, please let us know.
Warmest regards and thank you!
Cable

Dear Cable,
A concerted effort to consolidate the documentation on legal frameworks supporting open education is highly appreciated! It is very essential as well. Definitely it will encourage further legislation and adoption. Towards this aim a project was started in Wikiresearcher - Research on the Legal Frameworks for Open Educational Resources (OERLF) -, but did not go much ahead :). However the links added there by the community may be useful in the current project as well. See http://wikiresearcher.org/Oerlf/references
Groups "WikiEducator" group.--
