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

I (Jane Hart) am often asked for the names of (e-)learning professionals - from both education and corporate learning - as well as other related professionals to follow on Twitter. I started this list with 101 names on it, now thanks to many people who have submitted recommendations, it has grown. If you know someone you think should be on the list, email me. The list is displayed in alphabetical order by Twitter username.
