OER Policy
Creative Commons defines Open Educational Resources policies as "legislation, institutional policies, and/or funder mandates that lead to the creation, increased use, and/or support for improving OER".

History
On Friday 22 June 2012, the UNESCO World Open Educational Resources (OER) Congress released the 2012 Paris OER Declaration which called on governments to openly license publicly funded educational materials.

Week 2 homework
Do:
 * Compile a short list of open education articles you might want to work on (see the Communicate OER Content page for ideas). List these on your user page or talk page. This task is critical as it feeds into your main assignment for the course, to be introduced in Week 3.

My list:


 * OER Policy


 * Massive open online course


 * Open-source hardware


 * Read the Communicate OER Content page and/or open educational resources article


 * Review the OER article, or any article you plan to work on, on its talk page. Is it relevant/thorough? What would you like to change, add or delete? See here for suggestions about how to post your review: WP:Communicate OER Article Review


 * Continue making small edits to one or more Wikipedia articles: fixing typos, sentence structure, adding photographs; practice on your own. See Community portal for a list of suggested pages to fix, categorized by the kind of work they need.

Read:
 * Article on Five Pillars (core policies) of Wikipedia
 * Article on Wikipedia editing policy
 * Article on Wikipedia conflict of interest
 * Chap. 10: The Life Cycle of an Article, in How Wikipedia Works (PDF) (2008)
