Hi Everyone,

Following the landmark meeting of OERu founding anchor partners in Dunedin last week, I've started work drafting a summary of the meeting.  This summary will be available for all educators and institutions who were unable to participate during the live webstream

When we write the history of the future of the OERu, the founding anchor partners will be recorded as the pioneers who succeeded in opening education for millions of students worldwide. 

The founding anchor partners were invited to prepare anchor partner statements for the meeting. A wiki version is now available:


2011 is maturing into a quantum shift year working towards the adoption of OER and OEP in the formal education sector.

That is great Mike:
I was only able to virtually attend the initial part of the meeting, so a summary would be very much appreciated.  I think this is an important step forward, I believe increased access for marginalized learners will be one of many positive results of OERu, and hope I can continue to be involved in and informed about be part of the process.
