Hello again CC Europe:

In response to the EC Public Consultation on Opening Up Education, we've drafted the following response: 


The questionnaire was relatively straightforward (mostly involved multiple choice questions), but there was some opportunity to provide brief written comments. Please review this document and let us know whether you wish to be listed as a signatory on the letter. If your jurisdiction wishes to sign onto this response please let us know by end of day 31 October.

If you wish to submit a response on your own, please feel free to do this. If you do, please share back over the list. 

Thank you, 

timothy

Greetings CC Europe--

Some of you may have seen this but I would like to bring it to everyone's attention--https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/33832. The Commission is thinking about how to support Open Educational Resources and ICTs for education. They now have a public consultation period open on the subject (closes 13 November). CC has been in touch with Ricardo Ferreira, a Policy Officer from the EC who's helping run the consultation. 

The two goals they hope to make progress on, kickstarted by the consultation: 


1. Encourage and help EU member nations to move toward broad open education policies as called for the Paris OER Declaration

2. Make commercial elementary school textbooks freely available and openly licensed after the commercial textbook publishers have recouped their costs and profit (3-5 years).


Ricardo urged CC to respond to the formal questionnaire, and we can be in touch with him directly too. Ricardo said specifically that it'd be great to have CC's European voice be heard--in fact the EC would prefer it this way. CC would like to submit a response that incorporates as many CC Europe affiliate teams as possible that are interested in commenting on this consultation. I've attached the consultation document and the questionnaire. 

Working with Jonas and Cable, we suggest the following process:

1. Interested affiliate teams look over the consultation document and questionnaire and submit responses to Jonas and Timothy by 1 October
2. CC HQ will condense the responses into a single document and re-share this with CC Europe affiliates by 15 October
3. Affiliates should review this, provide any feedback, and let us know if you wish to be listed as a signatory by 1 November
4. CC HQ will look at feedback and produce final response
