welcome to OER360! with this first post, i am beginning the journey of exploring the breadth and depth of open educational resources and i hope you’ll join me. this project is part of an assignment for my human computer interaction class at pepperdine university in which i become an expert in an area of choice. OER360 will be the platform for documenting and presenting the things i learn about OERs during my journey towards expertise.

some things i have in the works are:

• inverviews with key players in the movement
• a look at the various repositories and sources of OERs
• surveys to determine the awareness and impact of OERs
• review of existing literature on OERs

i’m excited to start this knowledge path because i believe in the movement’s values of openness, sharing, and collaboration, and because i believe that open educational resources will be catalytic in the quest for equal access to quality education in the states and around the world. so let’s begin.
