[Open-education] Open Education Japan

We're really pleased to announce a new Open Education Around the World 
post - Open Education Japan 
<http://education.okfn.org/open-education-japan/>.

This is our first post from Asia and has been written by *Tomohiro 
Nagashima*, a Project Specialist and Instructional Designer at the 
Center for Open Education, Hokkaido University. Tomohiro talks about a 
number of open education initiatives including the *Academic Commons for 
Education (ACE) project* which deals with scarcity of professors in 
different disciplines; *schoo, inc* which focuses on supporting 
life-long learning using quality video lectures; and *eboard* which 
challenges unresolved issues (such as economic and social problems) in 
elementary and secondary schools in Japan by offering free quality 
videos in various subjects.

Enjoy! http://education.okfn.org/open-education-japan/

A full list of our Open Education Around the World 
<http://education.okfn.org/world/> series blog posts is available. If 
you'd like to see your country represented then just send over an email!

Thanks

Marieke
