>materials, that are freely available on the
>Internet for consultation, use and adaptation),
>and to consider the experience of a number of

>six-week period benefited from the expert input
>of some of the most innovative and committed OER practitioners and advocates.
>
>The highlights of that debate have been captured
>in the forum report, which is now available
>online on the project web site at
>http://www.unesco.org/iiep/virtualuniversity/forumsfiche.php?queryforumspages_id=23

>Informal discussion is continuing in an ongoing
>Community of Interest. A second formal forum
>will be held jointly with OECD in late 2006.
