Hi Folks,

Below is an announcement for a special issue of the Journal of Asynchronous
Learning Networks on Open Educational Resources. I thought this might be of
interest to the TOS community. The issue will be edited by Greg Hislop and
myself and please feel free to pass along the announcement to anyone who

JALN: Special Issue on Open Educational Resources

The Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks invites submission of papers
for a special issue focusing on Open Educational Resources (OERs).  OERs are
learning materials that are made publically available for free to be used,
modified, and redistributed in original or modified form.

This special issue will explore the phenomenon of Open Educational
Resources.  Papers should present a research study, an analysis, or detailed
case study of OERs, including data where possible.  Papers might focus on
the evolution, present situation, or expected future of OERs.  Examples of
possible topics are:

- Inhibitors and incentives to creating and using OERs
- Methods and issues in finding and using OERs successfully
- Quality control and collection management for OERs 
- Implications of OERs for online education
- Intellectual property issues  
- Social media and OERs
- Collaborative construction of educational materials

Submission Deadline: June 15, 2010.  
To submit a paper, please review JALN guidelines and submit papers to
http://jaln.sloanconsortium.org/.  Greg Hislop of Drexel University and
Heidi Ellis of Western New England College will serve as guest co-editors
for this special issue.
