Hi there fellow Open Educators,

 

Have some great news to share… not sure how many of you have been following this process at UNESCO, but, they unanimously adopted a new draft recommendation on OER to support the achievement of the UN’s 2030 Development Agenda. Recommendations include five objectives:

·       building capacity of stakeholders to create, access, use, adapt, and redistribute OER;

·       developing supportive policy at the national level;

·       encouraging inclusive and equitable quality OER;

·       nurturing the creation of sustainability models for OER; and

·       facilitating international cooperation.

 

The recommendation is expected to be approved next week at the UN General Conference next week.
