In 2006 OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation carried out a study on Open Educational Resources (OER) in higher education. The report from the study was published in May 2007 by the OECD under the title "Giving Knowledge for Free -- The Emergence of Open Educational Resources". It can be freely downloaded fromhttp://www.oecd.org/document/41/0,3343,en_2649_39263238_38659497_1_1_1_1,00....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation is carrying out a study on Open Educational Resources (OER) in higher education. As one part of that study we are launching a web based survey for individual teachers, instructors and researchers using and producing OER.

We would like to invite anyone working in a higher educational institution that uses or produces open learning content, such as courses, courseware, content modules, learning objects, collections and journals, or open software tools to develop, use, re-use and deliver learning content, to take our survey. It will not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete.

This is the link to the survey: http://FreeOnlineSurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=if9u3twr4jlg2zp406174

A report with the findings will be published on the OECD website. For more information regarding Open Educational Resources, please see: www.oecd.org/edu/oer .
