[Open-education] MEC Brazil publishes an ordinance for OER!!!

Fri May 18 19:19:21 UTC 2018

Dear Open Education friends,
*Definitely, "Good things come to those who wait" *

I'm writing just to let you know of important news here in Brazil. This is
the most important in the recent times!

The Ministry of Education of Brazil has just published an ordinance that
determines that all educational resources paid for by the ministry which
are to be used in basic education must be openly licensed and use open
format/standards whenever possible. This will have huge impact on the
number of educational resources available in Portuguese for this sector.
Resources will be made available in a new open-source repository (
http://plataformaintegrada.mec.gov.br).

A small note is published here in english, as part of our work on the open
education initiative:

All the best,

Priscila

> Greetings Open Education friends,
>
> I'm proud to announce that we from Brazil Open Education Initiative
> <http://www.aberta.org.br/> are going to launch the biggest Brazilian
> action for OER training we've heard.
>
> In April, the first edition of the OER course
> <http://www.cursorea.net.br/>for Open University Brazil Program (UAB)
> from Ministry of Education expects to reach more than 300 participants. In
> this action we are engaging federal universities professors and police
> makers to foster the open education concept in order to make the practice
> come true. UAB is the official federal program to provide higher education
> to the basic education teachers (15% out of 2 millions teachers). The
> second edition, scheduled for September, will be dedicated to OER
> facilitators training.

> At the same time, and as part of the course, we will release to the
> general public our OER referatory platform *RE-li-A* (Recursos
> Educacionais com licenças Abertas), we emphasize *"li"* because all
> resources available on the platform must have be under an open license. It
> is a wordpress platform and the code are at git.hub — it could be used by
> any school or educational institution who wants to index their own
> resources. RE-li-A was built by us with support from a crowdfunding
> campaign. And the great news is: *RE-li-A is fully integrated with
> Ministry of Education Platform:* https://plataformain
> tegrada.mec.gov.br/usuario-publico/332/
>
> However, we have to raise funds to continue work on *RE-li-A project.*
> I'd like to ask you about suggestions of funding opportunities.
>
> I appreciate your attencion!
> All the best!
