Thank you for your generous gift of those papers hosted on Academia.edu - Would it be possible for you to apply a CC-BY or CC-BY-SA license to the originals?
The Philippines OU qualifies to join the OERu Outreach Partnership Programme for free. So if they’re interested in migrating your course into a MOOC format - the OERu platform is an option.
We’ll be hosting a cohort instance of the OERu’s Digital Skills for Collaborative OER Development in the coming weeks which is an ideal opportunity to provide capacity development for educators wanting to learn how to publish open online courses using the OERu open source platform.
Perhaps an opportunity to provide wider access to your course in via an OER-enabled MOOC delivery environment?
My name is peninah Kamau a faculty member in one of the public universities in Kenya. Thank you for giving me an opportunity for membership and to participate in such a forum. I joined this group first to benefit from the online resources for teaching and learning during this period. I will also be able to interact and exchange information with the members in this platform and contribute towards the emerging issues in the field of education and training
I have modified the two original files to include a CC-BY-SA licence.
Regarding the question of a MOOC on the OERu platform, UPOU already have some MOOCs, but in the Education Faculty, rather than mine (Faculty of Information & Communication Studies). I have contacted the Dean regarding OERu platform.
All the best

With many of us confined to wait out the storm maybe the creative energies that have long been forced to take a back seat to daily requirements of life can now take front stage! If your thoughts are on helping to meet global needs - yes, the World has gotten a lot smaller! - checking out or creating OER resources is an activity you need to consider now.
If your interests are in global elementary and secondary school mathematics, maybe checking out a 5 star MERLOT rated, twice (2018, 2016) United Nations recognized Open Access [free to do research with] educational website www.k-12math.info . It provides over 6 500 content age appropriate links to CK-12, Khan Academy, AAAKnow, NCERT (India), Ukuqonda Math (South Africa), A+Click (England) and other OER/Open Access materials for 1 000 of the most common k-12 math terms that appear in textbook and OER/Open Access series.
Now is the time to explore OER resources, and to add new OER materials to the global library.
Oh! and www.k-12math.info has an aka of Jim Kelly. Thank you.
Thanks for prompt open licensing of your outstanding resources.
When we run the Digital Skills for Collaborative OER Development course in the next couple of weeks - there may be a few learners who would like to assemble and publish a MOOC on the OERu platform based on your resources as their design project. Of course, we would welcome participation from UPOU colleagues if they’re interested.
OER is about abundance (not artificial scarcity) - having multiple MOOC instances in building capacity for video in ODL is a good thing imo. :-).
