Directory of OER repositories | Thoughts on Open Education Tweet #OER Last update: 6th August 2014 – Thanks to @OERhub team – @nopiedra – @EbbaOssian for sharing the data collected in their projects After weeks and weeks digging on the internet, reviewing hundreds of OER initiatives, projects, blogs and hashtags, and also harassing other OER enthusiasts and experts in twitter, I managed to develop a first version of a directory of OER repositories. This version only includes the name of the repository, the URL and the country of the initiative and there are 73 OER repositories associated. I deliberatively did not include OWC, Institutional Repositories (articles, reports, thesis), ITunesU, MOOC initiatives, Open TextBooks, OpenAccess Repositories, sets of content that are not under CC licences such as BBC, or hybrid content repositories because this research is based on repositories of Open Educational Resources only.

Mapme, la herramienta gratuita para crear mapas interactivos Hoy en día la geolocalización nos parece tan natural como práctica. Bien sea para localizar algún comercio, ubicar cualquier iniciativa o planificar una visita turística, conocer exactamente dónde tenemos que dirigir nuestra atención o nuestros pasos es casi imprescindible. Un mapa interactivo es una herramienta muy útil ya que muestra información geográfica dando respuesta a preguntas o ilustrando acontecimientos y lugares. Además, dependiendo del tipo de público, pueden desarrollarse mapas interactivos con finalidades comerciales, educacionales, sociales, culturales, etc. Una de las herramientas que se emplean para la creación de mapas interactivos de forma gratuita y fácil –sin que sea necesario tener nociones de programación– es la plataforma Mapme, dirigida por Ben Lang. Mapme dispone de una serie de mapas, de fácil personalización, clasificados en diversas categorías: entretenimiento, educación, salud, tecnología, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, activismo y arte. → mapme.com
