OpenEducationalResources/

From NMC Wiki

This is the wiki page to accompany the talk "Free as a Free Kitten: the politics and economics of open educational resources" presented by Michael Roy from Wesleyan University at the NMC conference at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas in November 2006. It is hoped that participants will add to these pages, and also to the links (via del.icio.us).

[edit] Tags for this activity

I've set up some tags to help us collectively share examples. You can see the resources collected to date at http://www.pageflakes.com/roymichaeldonald.ashx or individually via del.icio.us at
