[BOAI] MERLOT Africa Network mailing list

[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from MERLOT.  --Peter Suber.]


The MERLOT Africa Network mailing list has been set up to send 
announcements, share information and discuss topics related to 
communication, ICTs, open educational resources (OER) and open access to 
scholarly publications (OA), and the development of networked partnerships 
across the globe. These activities are all dedicated towards sustainable 
social and economic development on the continent of Africa.

MERLOT (Mutlimedia Educational Resources for Learning and Online Teaching) 
is a leading edge, user-centered, searchable collection of peer reviewed 
and selected higher education, online learning materials, catalogued by 
registered members and a set of faculty development support services. 
MERLOT's vision is to be a premiere online community where faculty, staff, 
and students from around the world share their learning materials and 
pedagogy.

The mission of MERLOT Africa Network is to facilitate communities of 
eLearning expertise and capacity-building for open education, scholarship, 
and development in Africa.

In keeping with the spirit of openness in the use of communication 
technologies to create change, we've created this listserv. I've invited 
you because at some point we've e-mailed before, and I think you might be 
interested in following this list or contributing to it, because of your 
interest in development, education, OA or OER, Africa or social change in 
general. If I was wrong, I apologize for the trouble. You may unsubscribe 
at any time, so try it out by confirming this invitation.

Please feel free to forward this message to others who may be interested, 
they may subscribe by going to
