*UNESCO OER LAUNCH*

To all members of the global OER Community,

** **

On Tuesday 1 Nov, Ms. Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO will be
officiating the launch of:****

** **

1.  The UNESCO Open Educational Resources Platform****

2.  The UNESCO/COL Guidelines for OER in Higher Education****

** **

The UNESCO *Open Educational Resources Platform* is a first-ever, innovative
online Platform offering selected UNESCO publications as open educational
resources allowing our global community of stakeholders to freely use, copy,
adapt, and re-share.

** **

The OER Platform will be launched with an OER version of the UNESCO *Model
Curricula for Journalism Education* with shared OER adaptations from the
Polytechnic of Namibia and the University of Namibia.****

** **

The UNESCO/COL *Guidelines on Open Educational Resources in Higher Education
* outlines key issues and suggestions for integrating OER into higher
education to support quality teaching and learning. The aim of this
document, prepared by the Secretariat, is to encourage educational
stakeholders to invest in the production, adaptation, and use of OER, and to
improve the quality of curricula and teaching.****

** **

The Launch is scheduled for 6:30pm Paris time (GMT-1) and will be
live-streamed in:****

English - mms://stream.unesco.org/live/room_10_en.wmv ****

We'll be tweeting the Launch on #oerlaunch and would greatly appreciate it
if you would please forward this message to all your OER colleagues, and to
tweet and retweet.****
