Open Education Resources bill in Brazil
Carolina Rossini passes along the following:
Today, the Sao Paulo State Legislature Representative, Mr. Simao Pedro, assisted by his team, specially Lucia F. Pinto, and the OER-Brazil Project, has introduced an OER bill to regulate the educational resources developed directly and indirectly (contracts for products or services or public purchases) by that state, and determine that an open license should be applied (CC-BY-NC-SA). It also deals with repositories for such OERs.
Soon the text of the bill will be available from the ALESP website http://www.al.sp.gov.br/portal/site/Internet/.
You can follow the www.rea.net.br (in Portuguese) for more information and analysis, including the recent analysis on the Sao Paulo city OER Decree.
Well done, Sao Paulo!
