Communicate OER

Greetings!

We are delighted to announce the launch of Communicate OER, both online and at next week's Open Education Conference in Vancouver!

We're working to improve Wikipedia content about education. Join us!

Improving Wikipedia works best with a team! Photo by Alex Hinojo.

Working on Wikipedia can be best with a team.

Our year-long project will help people like you collaborate on improving Wikipedia. Our small but growing team includes professors, librarians, graduate students. We are Wikipedia experts and Wikipedia novices. We will be teaching and learning from one another as we go. We hope you'll pitch in!

Add your name to our "Team" page on Wikipedia: enwp.org/WP:Communicate_OER_Team
Head over to the "Do" page for some ideas for how you can help: enwp.org/WP:Communicate_OER_Do
Do you know somebody who would be a perfect fit? Please forward this email!

Whether or not you're attending Open Ed (Oct. 16-18), join us!

If you're attending, come to one of our "unconference/remixathon" sessions. (schedule)
If you're not, work and learn with us online! Follow the Wikipedia talk page: enwp.org/WT:COMMOER And follow us on Twitter: @CommOER and #CommOER

We are excited to be working with such a strong and passionate group as we launch Communicate OER. We hope you will join us!

Happy editing,
