= An Access2OER proposal: Bridge (discussion starting 9th March) =

The previous discussion ended with some concrete ideas for proposals (see [[Access2OER:9 Proposals]]), responding to the needs identified earlier ([[Access2OER:Issues]]). 

To take these proposals further, a second mailing list has been set up: https://communities.unesco.org/wws/info/access2oer, where the discussion will continue, and concrete proposals will be developed. You are very welcome to join.

== Access 2 OER discussion at OCWC 2009 ==

From: Tom Caswell: I am looking forward to facilitating a conversation among such wonderful
people in the OER access and accessibility communities. I will send more
information about our panel members soon. As a reminder, in this session we
will discuss assistive technology efforts as well as projects to improve
access to OER in developing countries. The session will be held in
Monterrey, MX on April 22, from 11:30am to 1pm CDT (UTC/GMT -5 hours). This
is an exploratory session to look at what projects are under way to improve
accessibility and access to OER, and how is the OCW community participating.
How are accessibility and access challenges similar and what strategies
might offer solutions to both problems?
