Thank you for sharing the resource on library statistics. The site attracted my attention first of all because it is a Scandinavian resource. The material contains lots of useful theoretical and practical material. In the introduction the author states "It contains a number of research papers, but the framework is different. This is collection of texts, tables, graphics and links that are aimed at the people who actually run libraries." Statistics is a useful tool if used correctly and wisely. It may inspire changes and innovations and also measure the importance of changes. Besides, collection and interpretation of statistical data also changes with the course of time. The author has very clearly explained library statistics with good examples. .

Blogs are used as educational resources and we can have our blog nowadays for free.

Very useful, thank you. I made two free websites not long ago and then two days later, the company sent me messages that to keep them I had to pay for the service. Then it is not free, is It?

Sometimes 'free' meens that you should pay money latter of for best services.

Now you can't imagine a teacher doing this

If you were interested in the Cancer Commons resource from the last module, this one might be something you'd like to peruse. The OERC's portal is open and free for everyone around the world to use to: Find free, open, and online educational and training resources. We will be "recommending the best" and "linking to the rest" of materials that could meet your interdisciplinary needs.

Learning and teaching will be severely damaged, many publishing companies will close and thousands of jobs will be lost if the government implements its proposal to remove any choice in which textbooks schools use. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga published the policy proposal in the September 4 Government Gazette and invited public comment on it.

University of the Witwatersrand second-year actuarial science student Awakhiwe Kona was awarded a R4?000 bursary by the Gauteng province to buy textbooks, but because they are so expensive he has not been able to afford to buy all the ones he needs. "My [six] textbooks were expensive, so I didn't buy [the] other textbooks [I needed].

It is a late discovery, but this article is very nice to understand OER movement.

At the Open Education Working Group we are interested in all aspects of open education, from Open Education Resources (OERs) and new learning and teaching practices, to open source tools and open licenses. One fairly new area that is starting to show real traction in opening up education is open education data.

Why Open Education Matters video competition.

I think this is a beautifully simple and clear wonderful explanation of why open education matters! I like how it discusses the conflict that exists without too much judgement and explains some of the open jargon such as OER. Thank you for sharing.

Realice un Mooc sobre movimiento educativo abierto en coursera, alli conoci este portal en español con variados contenidos del tema, una opcion a considerar.

He realizado el mismo curso, fué muy útil, de hecho se va a implementar

A creative way to explain open education resources. It highlights the key opinions about the OER.

Francesca Villette THE government plans to introduce a schooling policy to help redress educational injustices and inequalities of the past by having pupils across the country using the same textbook and study material.

Politicians are trying to control and regulate something they don't understand. Back to basics is not the answer. Education must create enthusiasm and help people to grow. If you think some stuff in school need to be boring, don't be a teacher!

Open Education Week is a global, community event that seeks to raise awareness about the benefits of free and open sharing in education, especially Open Educational Resources (OER).

Textbook cost is a societal issue.
