Hello Everyone!

I’m sharing a UNESCO document that my colleagues and I at Teachers Without Borders have found exceptionally helpful in starting the process of building programs for and with teachers in Brazil. I’d be happy to start a discussion thread with anyone interested in exploring the document in depth.

Here is UNESCO’s summary and the link to download the PDF report:

Open Educational Resources in Brazil: State-of-the-Art, Challenges and Prospects for Development and Innovation

”The study contains an overview of the Brazilian educational landscape, national educational policy and the strategies of ICT use in education. The author describes existing open digital content repositories with due emphasis on the copyright situation and considers several examples of successful international OER projects which involved Brazilian partners. The book is destined for those who study OER initiatives and projects on a national scale as well as promotion of OER movement worldwide.”
