The OER Research Hub, a project that gathers research on the impact of open educational resources (OER) on learning and teaching practices based at the Open University in the UK, have embedded our Open Education Timeline into their OER Impact Map. As they explain this has been made possible by the use of open data!

The results are available on the OER Research hub site.

If you’d like to add projects or event to the timeline here is an explanation of how to get started.

The OER Research hub team would now like to hear suggestions or ways they might enhance the services offered by the map site.

They currently offer

• OER Projects Map – A directory of OER projects and initiatives

• OER Policy Map – A comprehensive collection of OER policies

• OER Evidence Map  – Display & query OERRH evidence

• OER Impact Map – An aggregation of the previous three maps

• Influence Maps – Recording activity around specific Twitter hashtags (#oerrhub; #oermap) and other social media metrics

• Hypothesis Reports

• Reports by Country
