From Brendan Barrett of United Nations University
=========
The UNU Media Studio has recently launched two new web sites that showcase the online educational materials developed by the UNU.
Please take a look at http://www.onlinelearning.unu
You can see from this site that we produce courses, e-case studies, video documentaries and web applications. The main thematic focus is the environment. We hope to add more and more content in the future.
We also have another site – http://www.mediastudio.unu.edu
On this website, we will explain how we collaborate with people and institutions to build and share these open educational resources. This includes discussion of the types of tools we use, the challenges we face and the solutions we come up with. We hope that you will subscribe to our RSS feed and comment from time to time.
There are some really interesting features on both sites including the fact that they are built in WordPress (an open source software for bloggers).
Last but not least, both sites employ Creative Commons licensing and it is our hope that the entire UNU will move over to 100% Creative Commons in the future – got to keep pushing on that!
So we welcome your comments and rather than reply to this email, why not leave a comment on the blog.
