What about the development of OER in LUL?
First an interesting, but not encouraging observation:
the bold initative for Opening up Education, taken by
the EU in 2013, now in 2016 seems to have lost
momentum for OER – in particular when observing the
global development and comparing with North America.
Second what we observe from the LangOER project, is
that most LUL countries in Europe are lagging when
it comes to OER, in particular when observing holistic
initiatives which in these countries seem to be totally
absent.
For regional and minority languages, the situation is
even worse.
Still, for all of these LUL communities – positive
exemptions exist, but the main picture is relatively
speaking worse than in 2014.
Policy Recommendations - Addendum : Enabling Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Europe through OER

“Using the innovation adaption
lifecycle as illustration, we will place
the good example from North America
and France in the innovators and
early adopters group – but most LUL
countries in Europe unfortunately are in the laggards group.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_life_cycle
Are most countries in Europe, in particular those with LUL as languages,
being side-lined in the one of the most innovative developments in education
in modern times?

“Based on existing quality OER repositories, educational needs, teachers and learners demands,
a possible initiative intends to spark the uptake of OER and
Open education in Higher Education and Upper Secondary
Education, and provide the basis for a future networked global cooperation between quality OER repositories. The main outcome of a possible initiative will be a dynamic
global network of OER repositories, well connected to key stakeholders and the user
community.”
