Open Doors Group's Best Practices, Knowledge Sharing and Mentoring Initiative

Welcome. After spending four years working in open education, specifically on College Open Textbooks, we see the need for collaboration in at least two of the following areas:

Sharing of best practices: We cannot afford to reinvent processes in every institution, state/province, or country.

Mentor/mentee relationships in careers and to make instructorless open courseware educationally sound. Open Courseware Consortium and Saylor Foundation have large numbers of open-licensed instructorless courses.

Mentor/mentee tools to help create and facilitate relationships in the expanding Open Educational Resources (OER) movement. We have partnered with MentorCloud to bring you an environment that fits the bill. Let's work together to create a place for best practices and information sharing in the open education world.
