Open Education Resources OER 1 year, 7 months ago The Commonwealth of Learning (COL), with support from the Hewlett Foundation, is currently conducting regional consultations on Open Educational Resources (OERs). Recommendations from the consultations will feed into the IInd World OER Congress taking place in Slovenia in September 2017.
As part of the consultations, COL is conducting a stakeholder survey and is looking for feedback from TVET institutions. We have been challenged to collect 200 responses and need your help to reach this goal.
If you are interested in taking part in this survey, the link is here: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/rcoer-stakeholdersurvey/
