The OERu is an international philanthropic collaboration of universities, colleges and polytechnics providing more affordable access to higher education using courses based solely on Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Access (OA) resources. Our entire tech infrastructure is powered by FLOSS.

We are currently building a open course Dimensions of Openness in Education and naturally open source software is a key dimension. 

We typically start each session with a short video stimulus from a leading thinker in the space - about 3 to 4 minutes max to introduce the topic and its importance.

As custodian of the Open Source Definition would the OSI be prepared to create a short video introducing the Open Source Definition and why its important. The anticipated target audience are educators (working largely in the post secondary sector, although we regularly have school teachers joining these free open online courses.)  If possible, I would need a recording by 30 April 2015.

This session will cover an intro to FLOSS (for educators) - A little history, the essential freedoms, OSD definition, and OSS in education. 

All our materials carry a free cultural works approved license (eg CC-BY or CC-BY-SA). 

Thank you in anticipation for your gift of knowledge.
