[Open-education] Open Education Handbook update

Thu Nov 6 17:49:11 UTC 2014

Dear All,

We have now created a 'final' version of the Open Education Handbook for 
the LinkedUp Project <http://linkedup-project.eu/>.

  * Online version: http://education.okfn.org/handbook/
  * EPub version: http://bit.ly/oeh-epub
  * PDF version: http://bit.ly/oeh-pdf

There is also a potted history of how we got to this point on the blog 
<http://education.okfn.org/open-education-handbook-update/>. (Big thanks 
go to Rob Farrow of the Open University, UK who helped us with our final 
edit).

The handbook is now a comprehensive and intelligent overview of the 
current situation with regard to Open Education and Open Education data. 
However to realise its full potential such a resource needs to be 
allowed to continue to evolve and be built upon.

The writing of the handbook has been very much embedded within the Open 
Education Working Group throughout the LinkedUp Project lifecycle, and 
it is here that it will continue to stay until a more appropriate place 
is found. Discussions have already taken place around the future of the 
handbook and possible ideas include moving it to Wiki books, embedding 
it within Wikipedia and building a front-end for it to use with Booktype.*

It is hoped that these ideas can be developed further in discussion with 
the community.*

So please do reuse what we have and think about how we can take the 
handbook forward to the next stage in its evolution. Note that you can 
continue to edit the online version <http://education.okfn.org/handbook/>.

Thanks

Marieke
