"The young field of open education is gaining momentum
and energy. As additional projects, foundations, universities, and
other participants join the movement, the need increases for a single
source to gather, sort, analyze, synthesize, and disseminate news
related to open education. As a field, open education is now where the
field of open access was a few years ago. Peter Suber's wonderful Open Access News provides an invaluable service to the OA community, and we intend to replicate this service with Open Education News."
"Open
Education News is essentially a group blog. A number of individuals
from the US, South Africa, and eventually other locations daily monitor
the internet for news related to open education. We then aggregate
these items and publish them individually with minor commentary.
Occasionally we'll publish bigger pieces of our own authorship;
analyses and such. If you know of some open education news we should
write about, contact David Wiley at david.wiley@gmail.com."
"Open Education News is graciously supported by the Open Society Institute and the Shuttleworth Foundation."
