3. Evolution of the Project Vision I (2012)
"The OER World Map will illuminate the
scope and nature of the global OER
movement and act as a point of entry for
a range of users. Its visualisation will
serve to identify OER initiatives and OER
people worldwide to facilitate sharing
resources and connecting people. Built in
collaboration, it will engage contributors
and users as ‘co-owners’ to promote
comprehensiveness and sustainability.”
(Susan D’Antoni)

4. Evolution of the Project Vision II (2014)
"The OER Data Hub is a platform which
collects and publishes openly into the
web data by, about and for the OER
community. The OER World Map is the
first out of many applications build on
top of the OER Data Hub, which
visualizes the data in the form of a
geographical map and serves as a
symbol of the project.”

5. Which Data we collect

6. Is the world map…
• …an OER Search engine?

community?
Well, a bit of everything!
