Edition 11 of the monthly Sounds of the Bazaar poadcast

We are a bit late with this edition of Sounds of The Bazaar. But to make up for it we have a jam packed bumper edition.

First off I give an update on the development of Open Educational Resources and what I think the major issues are. This follows from discussions at the Hewlett Foundation conference on OERs in Houston, Texas in March.

Web Site of the Month features Cwmglas Primary School in Wales. It is a great site - make sure you check it out. And there is a visitors book to sign to show the students who is visiting their web site.

Continuing the Open Educational Resources theme we feature a short interview with Andrea Mulrenin from Salzburg Research about the OLCOS project on OERs. Salzburg Research has recently published the OLCOS Roadmap 2012 for the further development of Open Educational Practices and Resources. It is a 130KB PDF download and well worth a read.

And then we have an interview with Patrick Mac Andrew form the UK Open University Learning Space project. Learning Space is a fast evolving repository of Open Educational Resources. It also features great tools for free use. Patrick talks about future planned developments with Learning Space.
You can listen to individual items or listen or download the full version. The full version features music by Jampy, an artist from Italy. It contains blues, jazz and also experimental elements. The featured tracks are from Jampy's album "Nghzk!".

You find this album and a lot more music published under a Creative Commons licences on the great music site Jamendo.

Many thanks to Dirk Stieglitz who has done the sound engineering on this issue. I think regular listeners will notice the improvement in quality.
