Commonwealth

"The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is an intergovernmental organisation created by Commonwealth Heads of Government [UK and former British Colonies] to encourage the development and sharing of open learning/distance education knowledge, resources and technologies." Following this aim, the promotion of OERs is part of COL's policy. You will find their official position on OERs. Furthermore, somewhat hodden on the right hand side, you will find several links to COL's OER page, to COL's publications on OERs, on their e-learning prgramme, on an OER guide, and some more.
