The ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (OERAC) has completed its second term as of December 31, 2020. The mandate was for one year and throughout 2020, with a particular focus on supporting the implementation of the 2019 UNESCO OER recommendation. A full report has been submitted to the ICDE in a special order and will be presented to the  ICDE Board at the April 2021 Board meeting.

It was decided in Autumn 2020 that the current mandate of ICDE OER Advocacy Committee should be renewed from January 2021 to the end of 2024 with a public invitation for members and an open call. The mandate should be related to the ICDE 2021-2024 strategic plan,

This year 2020 has been another horrible and illusory year. I do not know the last time I saw so many publications, blogposts and conferences dedicated to this year of the pandemic. Now at the end of the year, it seems to be back to academics and scholars trying to learn the lessons. I myself have not published so much in such a short time, and mostly on demand, nor have I attended and keynoted so many conferences. One of the most respected and recognized articles is the one from Aras Bozkurt (2020), where I wrote the Swedish case. I am Guest Editor in three Scientific Journals and co-editor of one book and writing another, all from my home office in Lund, Sweden. In my Blog post from December 7, 2020, I tried to summarize some of the recent conferences this fall. When it comes to my publications this year, please visit my Publications website, my ResearchGate, and my LinkedIn. I contributed to the ICDE PEesident Forum 25 November 2020, and wrote some Blog posts and some Vlogs. Read more from the ICDE President Forum 2020.
