> Hi Tamara,
>
> Thank you for sharing your story; it quickly drew my attention and I was
> glad to make it to the end - it is a great, detailed example of how OER can
> be applied in specific contexts.
>
> As regards the collection space for such OER success stories, I have to
> admit that I am sorry to see them restricted in a mailing list and not
> publicly available; based on my previous experience, a multi-author blog
> would be ideal for this purpose: The author would describe his/her story as
> a blog post (even with basic formatting) and the follow ups (i.e. the
> responses to this email) would be the comments of the blog post.
>
> I am sure that a blog could be easily set up in any of the OER advocacy
> websites - it is free, requires minimum maintenance and administration and
> lets people publicly share their stories (posts) and comments. Most
> important? Posts live forever out there, publicly available to anyone
> (unless the server goes down); in contrast, such emails in this list are a
> well-kept secret for the few who know how to register to it, without any
> mean to point external stakeholders to such lovely emails (like yours)
> apart from forwarding the email itself.
>
> That's my two cents in this conversation; I hope that you'll consider my
> proposal.
>
> Best regards,
