Talk:Open educational resources policy

Policies should be on Wikisource

I hope that anyone who actually authored an "open educational resource policy" would be insightful enough to make it free content. Wikipedia's external links policies may make it questionable to link to policies identified, but Wikisource could be a repository for storing, sorting, and categorizing all policies. This is not urgent and not a first step in developing this article but it would compliment this article by providing anyone who visits a set of ready-to-copy and adapt policies.

@Lane, you're right! What can we ("we") do to urge this along? - Sara FB (talk) 13:37, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Snarfa There is something related for which there are more stakeholders, and which I think could be addressed first with an OER addendum as a rider. Every organization is having to face the advent of the Internet and almost none of them like it anywhere in the world. Typically how they acknowledge it is by developing a social media plan, and along with that a "social media policy" for the organization. There is no standard social media policy and even very established organizations often have lousy confusing policies governing them. If we could get a good social media policy, then we get in the intimate business of absolutely every company, organization, and government in the world. If we can tag on OER ideology to it, then likewise we could be pervasive. This is not such a big commitment but someone has to do it. I cannot take the lead on this. It at least has hope of being very high impact. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:43, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

State/province/district/regional policies?

I am doing a study on US K-12 OER policies at the state level. I don't want this to turn into "list article" of policies but may chuck these in here just to keep things moving. Ideas? - Sara FB (talk) 03:27, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Unisa policy

I am continuing to add notes to this page for others to apply. After the Communicate OER project ends I may edit this article myself, but until then - check out the new Unisa policy via http://oeru.org/news/oeru-partner-unisa-approves-oer-strategy/. - Sara FB (talk) 13:39, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
