Dear colleagues,

I am writing to ask that you consider completing a survey from the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (a group on which I serve). The survey relates to the UNESCO OER Recommendation, adopted 25 November 2019, which includes the following five focus areas

i)                    Build the capacity of stakeholders to find, re-use, create and share OER

ii)                   Develop supportive policy

iii)                 Ensure inclusive and equitable access to quality OER

iv)                 Nurture the creation of sustainability models for OER

v)                   Facilitate international co-operation

 

The mandate of the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (OERAC) is to promote and support the UNESCO Recommendation and implementation across the globe. The general objective for this survey is to map progress in the implementation of the UNESCO OER Recommendation globally, in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The questions have its foundation in the Recommendation but also on the work of the UNESCO OER Dynamic Coalition, in which ICDE takes part (along with Creative Commons, ISKME, Open Education Global, SPARC, the OERu, and many others).

 

We would sincerely appreciate it if you could complete this survey online by July 31, 2020.  This survey is by necessity quite detailed and you should plan to spend at least 30-40 minutes for completion. Your responses will help us better understand country implementation efforts, and map progress.

Thank you very much,

Rajiv
