Hi everyone, This past week I've been working on a funding proposal aimed at establishing a national New Zealand OER collaboration for the school sector, working in close collaboration with the local Ministry of Education and key stakeholders.
While this proposal has a strong New Zealand focus, there are two aspects which may be of international interest for our community: - The tools development stream (Stream 2) in the proposal which aims to improve usability of the WikiEducator platform for Newbies - The possibilities of replicating national initiatives like this in other countries. I'd encourage WikiEducators working in the school sector or policy makers within Ministries of education to take a look and let us know what you think. See: http://wikieducator.org/Funding_proposals/Reusable_and_portable_content_for_New_Zealand_schools Any advice or thoughts you may have are always well received :-) This proposal is still work in progress, but in line with the OER Foundation's commitment to open philanthropy -- we develop all our proposals transparently as free content.
