The free-of-cost education market seems to be growing with OERu, MITx, Nixty, Saylor.org, UoP, P2PU, and Mozilla badges among many others leading the way.

They're all based on ICT literacy, ownership of devices, regular-flow good-value electricty,  and access to the internet (which is not a given for many developing countries).

Some are based completely or partially on OERs. Some are global in scope and others focus on the students from their own countries.

They're all good and we need many more to increase awareness from their marketing efforts and cross-promotion (like this message from the OER WSIS KC). It will be excellent to see how many we have at the end of 2012.

For all those who did not have a chance to submit activities to WSIS Project Prizes 2012, do not fear as the deadline for submissions has now been extended to the 4th of February 2012.

More than  150 projects have been submitted to take part in this exciting contest! We especially encourage you to submit activities relevant to the following categories: C8 Cultural diversity and identity, linguistic diversity and local content and C 9:Media
