[edit] A guide for participating in the international open education commons

[edit] October 2009 - Version 1.1

The UNESCO OER Toolkit is an initiative of the Information Society Division of UNESCO’s Communication and Information Sector.

The drafting of this toolkit was facilitated by Philipp Schmidt of the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. The work was inspired by, and builds on a 2006 discussion of the UNESCO OER Community to outline a 'Do-It-Yourself/Do-It-Together' resource to build capacity for local OER development and use. A first draft was prepared and reviewed during a focused online discussion, which was open to all, and took place from 16 to 27 June 2008.

The first version was released in October 2009.
