OLnet's Andreia Inamorato dos Santos took part in a round table discussing ‘OER as Learning Objects’ at the 16th International Conference on Distance Education – ABED (Brazilian Association for Distance Education) using Flashmeeting on the 2nd September 2010.

The Mozilla Foundation and the Shuttleworth Foundation have announced a new fellowship opportunity for "individuals interested in developing innovative approaches that educate people how to promote the open web". They state that this is not an academic research based fellowship but instead one aimed at developing "practical ideas that will allow large numbers of people to learn about, improve and promote the open nature of the Internet". Applicants should be based in Europe or Brazil and be fluent in English. Further information is available at: http://www.mozilla.org/grants/education-fellowship.html.
