Hi David,
I’m also quite surprised and a bit confused by this move.
Recognising that open practices are by nature social and collaborative ones and working to support those better in relation to resource development is a good thing
What I am rather confused about is where, once the resources from Jorum get ‘archived’ so that they will still be available, are they going to be archived into, other than say, an OER repository. In which case … er…
Cheers
Leo

Hey OER-fans,
You may have seen this in the grown-up news:
It’s the first I’ve heard of it and I’m trying to get to the bottom of what is happening. (yes, I know that you’d expect it would have been something that they would have mentioned to the likes of me – but clearly this is not the way modern thrusting customer-focused solution providers work.).
I’ll share any details I get with the list.
David
