This storytelling framework seeks to assist OER projects in documenting and sharing key developments in the creation, use and reuse of open educational resources. By using the template to tell your story, you can help to build capacity for inquiry and information sharing across projects worldwide, which can in turn help your own as well as other projects to: * Discover unknown potential within projects; * Learn how other OER projects have overcome similar challenges and fulfilled similar needs; * Improve networking so that relevant learnings and opportunities can be identified and leveraged; * Use unique experiences and expertise to help other OER projects and to advance the field at large

This is my personal dumping ground for various cool quotes, the odd stat, as slides to talk around when describing how things are changing online and in media & communications generally.
