JCOTS Open Education Resources Advisory Committee
An encouraging sign o’ the times. Open education is being considered by an advisory committee of the Virginia Joint Commission on Technology and Science (JCOTS). Here’s their description of what they do:
Welcome to the Virginia Joint Commission on Technology and Science (JCOTS) Open Education Resources Advisory Committee Blog. JCOTS is a permanent legislative commission within the legislative branch of state government. JCOTS is charged with developing appropriate public policy relating to all aspects of science and technology within the Commonwealth. Although created to allow continued discussions among our advisory committee members, this blog is a new step in engaging the public in the policy making process.The Open Education Resources Advisory Committee is currently studying the use of open education resources in Virginia’s public schools. Please feel free to leave comments related to the postings of our committee. For more information please visit http://jcots.state.va.us/.
It’s great to see open education making the leap from project to policy.
