Last week we held our GLOBE meeting in Tokyo, thanks to Prof Yamada of the Open University, Japan. Whilst GLOBE is an international…yes its getting close to truly international with members from nearly every continent (eg MERLOT, OER Commons, CoSL (US), LORNET (Canada), ARIADNE, EUN (Europe), DEI (Taiwan), TCU (Thailand), KERIS(South Korea), NIME(Japan), edna(Australia), LACLO (South America) and we gave consideration to repository networks in the Middle East and Africa.
The group confirmed that it will continue to connect repositories of learning content to create a critical mass of quality learning content from around the world. The group now has a number of OER repositories that will enrich the pool of resources with open content.

Interesting post! I came across your blog while researching OER. Where can I learn more about the GLOBE meeting?
