<font size=3>[Forwarding from MERLOT. --Peter Suber.]<br><br>
<br>
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.
<br><br>
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. <br><br>
The mission of MERLOT Africa Network is to facilitate communities of
eLearning expertise and capacity-building for open education,
scholarship, and development in Africa. <br><br>
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. <br><br>
