That sounds exciting -Thank you Priscilla for sharing about your workshop, would it be possible to share a link with details on this workshop.

Recently, Fiji got its OER policy approved and I would like to share this with our colleagues who will be moving this agenda forward.

Tks, Nicole and Cable! 

For us here in Brazil it is the most important problem: to distinguish between "open" and "free"... 
Today we've organized the first co-creation workshop during a very important private social investment congress to prototype a OER pilot project to implement a special teacher training in São Paulo public schools to produce OER (teachers and students). The main point was to show to private Brazilian foundations and institutions there is a big difference between the both concepts. 

Best,
Priscila

Agree - it will be helpful to see the methodology and study details / data.

I have some friends at TES ... I'll ping them and will report back if I learn more.

From Dubai,

Hi Priscila. To me this doesn’t look like a very rigorous survey with respect to OER. It’s done by a UK-based education technology company, and there isn't any information on the methodology or wording of the questions, which is suspect. They also make several factual errors in the press release, including how they describe US Department of Education policy and neglecting that textbooks can be open resources too. So, I suspect this probably doesn't distinguish between “open” and “free online”, and while the results may be meaningful in showing that teachers are moving *toward* more open resources (using free online resources is a first step), we should also beware of anything that promotes misunderstanding of what open means.

Hi everyone!

Tks Cable for sharing this survey! It's amazing results! 
But I'm in doubt if this "open" the survey discuss about is related to "our open understanding" or is also related to "free understanding" (I mean not paid).

Anyone knows?
