6 CRICOS No. 000213J a university for the world real R The OAK Law Project www.oaklaw.qut.edu.au Slide 6 OECD CERI OER Project Four main activities: 1.A concept analysis of “open educational resources”; 2.A mapping activity to show contours of an “OER initiates map” in order to grasp the scope and scale of OER activities; 3.Two web-surveys: one to a restricted number of higher educational institutions and one open survey to investigate how institutions tackle the issues; and 4.Close co-operation with UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) Forum on Open Educational Resources/Open content.
