The OER Handbook is currently featured on the homepage of the Creative Commons site (you can also access the OER Handbook story directly via the CC blog). Kudos to everyone involved!

At the risk of being accused of shameless self-promotion, I thought I'd plug in my most recent co-edited (with Kirk St.Amant, of ECU) collection, The Handbook of Research on Virtual Workplaces and the New Nature of Business Practices.

Matt, I will admit that my cover and ever topic are not as cool as yours, but you have an essay on new media in this one, so you are partly responsible for it.

As many of you know, COSL is undertaking a project to lead the development of an “OER Handbook for Educators” on Wikieducator.org. We went through a really informative process while drafting the outline, and were grateful for all the contributions we received then (and even for the conference call!).

Now there is a modest amount of content in the Handbook - basically a very first draft. And while the development has been completely open and well documented on the Wikieducator.org site all along, we’d really love to get even more of you engaged with the project now, and have you come contribute. We’re especially looking for user stories - are you an educator who has used OER? See Seth’s post to get a sense of what we’re looking for.

Hope to see you over at Wikieducator! And thanks again to Wayne and his fabulous crew over at Wikieducator for hosting the project for COSL!
