Open Database of Educational Projects and Organizations (ODEPO)

One of the more challenging tasks with respect to the open education movement is figuring out who is involved and what they are doing. We are compiling data on ALL existing education projects (open or not), including areas of focus, contact info, licensing policies, and any other relevant info that comes to mind. We are compiling these data in an interactive format (using Semantic Mediawiki) that will allow others to find and sort projects of interest. This platform also gives the ability for people to add their own projects or other projects they are aware of. Ideally, this archive and the associated tools of engagement will facilitate collaboration and synergy among the various (open) education projects. We will also be tracking the evolution of this space over time to produce regular “state of the movement” reports for the community.

We are hoping to release a beta version of this project in the Spring of 2008.
