FYI: we have established (but not really used) a pad here: http://pad.p2pu.org/CommOER
Communicate OER - where it is now
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Communicate_OER
- see team tab - to see who has joined in. big list of people
- shift of approaching project - focus more heavily on using Wikipedia as central place to collaborate
- every Tues opp to edit/intro via Collaborate
- Collaborate - get people connected to explore more open tools for the duration of the project
- give people brief intro and work on articles together
- haven't communicated this out to folks yet - lots of behind the scenes
- YouTube channel - couple videos - 5 min instructional videos on Wikipedia generally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QeIiv-BYTs&feature=plcp
- will upload to Wikimedia Commons
- 2 part goal
- significant impact on quality of coverage of OER on Wikipedia
- build a community of practice in OER community to maintain that
Target user?
- OER community to improve OER on Wikipedia overtime
- also get newbies to edit Wikipedia OER articles as a task in courses like Copyright 4 Educators
- connect with Tuesday edit sessions - if the course incorporates watching a video or two and the activity is participate in the Tues session, then we could have people coming in primed to be able to do something
Course ideas:
- Wikipedia OER course for OER practitioners
- facilitiated and ready by March - with deadlines and opportunities. putting out a call for people to sign up -
- peter will do live facilitating; sara will prep and do asynchronous work
- incorporate in next CC ed team meeting

Partners/people:
- Pete Forsyth
- Sara Frank Bristow - distance learning work. technically Project Manager, helping w/communications
Resources:
- 5 min instructional videos on Wikipedia on a weekly basis - will have a bunch of stuff on hand to put into a course - these will be for anyone editing anything on wikipedia though intended for OER space so examples will be from OER
Getting started
- Go to http://schoolofopen.org and get familiar with the other courses to see how yours might be structured.
- Join the discussion and introduce yourself and your field of “open” interest: https://groups.google.com/group/school-of-open. See if others are interested in building it as well. Someone might already be developing a similar course.
