Hi all
Bit short notice, but if anyone is around on Friday afternoon and fancies
meeting Sara Frank Bistow to talk OER & Wikipedia I'll be meeting her at
around 3pm. We'll either meet around the office (/pop in if anyone in the
office wants to say hi?) or around Bloomsbury I think.
Sara is an OER Research Hub Fellow and has been visiting the OU on that
fellowship for the last week or two. She is also involved with the
Wikipedia:CommunicateOER project which is aimed at improving the quality of
OER related articles on Wikipedia and the WikiSOO (Wikipedia School of Open)
course on editing Wikipedia. Some links:

As I'm emailing around, on a related note I went to a University of London
seminar on OER and Open Access in Distance Education yesterday, which was
(understandably) very focussed on the UoL distance program rather than more
generally (so no mention of some of the great Wiki initiatives), some v.
brief thoughts on the session blogged here:
