Wikipedia talk:Communicate OER/Content
My comments on some of these article pages being separate:
- Open ed/OER policy - does this merit two different articles as listed? Or can they be collapsed into one article?
- OER reuse should be included under OER article - not merit its own. If it does go to a dif page, it should be reuse of openly licensed resources generally. Why would we separate out OER in an entire article? OER have same legal permissions for remix as other openly licensed resources that allow remix
- Not sure that Open_license should redirect to Open_Content
- Should Open-source_curriculum be combined with OER or be referenced from it in some sense? Seems similar to OCW as well

More ideas for the OER Projects list[edit]
What do people think about adding Learni.st to the Wikipedia:Communicate_OER_Content page? It seems to me to meet the criteria of Open Education Resources. Does anyone else have similar projects to add? Johnnytecmo (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Unintentional OER (under Related Topics)[edit]
Even people who have not heard the term 'OER' are somewhat familiar with the concept. Most teachers search the internet and specific sites including YouTube to find resources to help their lesson planning. People listen to lectures on iTunes U just because they are interested in the topic. Searching for CC images on Flickr is standard procedure for many who often create Powerpoint presentations. Although these platforms do not require open licensing and therefore cannot be considered OER in the strict sense, yet they certainly contain OER and certainly serve an 'OER purpose' for many people who would not know the term OER nor the issues around OER. Does this not warrant a mention in the Communicate OER project? --86.134.25.123 (talk) 12:59, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
- This is a good point. Should this be discussed within this project is one question -- but also, should it be discussed in the Open educational resources article itself, or other related articles? It would be helpful to have an independent source -- a news article or a scholarly article -- talking about this phenomenon, to use as a source. Do you know of any such article? -Pete (talk) 13:42, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
