Federal OER Legislation

David Wiley is reporting on his blog about a new piece of U.S. legislation, H.R. 1464. The bill would mandate that federal agencies which spend more than $10 million on science education spend 2% of their budget on the development of related, college-level OER. The bill is sponsored by Bill Foster of Illinois and would be managed by the Secretary of Energy and the Director of the NSF.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
