K4A trustees finalizing UNESCO Recommendation in OER

The UNESCO OER Recommendation was approved by UNESCO member states on 28th May, by consensus. Its final step for approval will take place at the UNESCO General Assembly in November, 2019. K4A had one trustee as representative at the meeting (and in multiple side meetings), and we are pleased with the outcome and final text. The importance for K4A is that the policy once adopted will incentivise UNESCO member states to use Artificial Intelligence tools for OER.
