OER Handbook Goes to Print!
We’ve completed the print layout for the Open Educational Resources Handbook for Educators v 1.0! Our favorite designer, Corrine Beaumont, has done an amazing job with the print layout, all the way down to using openly licensed typefaces throughout.
The printed, paperback version of the OER Handbook is available through Lulu.com in both black and white and full color formats. Of course, as an openly licensed book, the fully formatted PDFs are available for free download in both black and white and full color.
Also, I’m very excited to announce that thanks to the generous support of Open Ed 2008 conference sponsor Agilix, Open Ed 2008 conference participants will each be receiving a printed copy of the OER Handbook. My thanks to Seth, the Wikieducator community, Corrine, the Hewlett Foundation, and Agilix for making the handbook possible!

Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who applied – we had about thirty applicants for five scholarships, and the judging was tough! Also, many, many thanks to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for their continued support of the Open Ed scholarships.
Finally, the Open Ed 2008 program is now available online. The speakers and topics for this year are incredible… This should be the best Open Ed conference ever! =)
