Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: Invitation to Attend an Open Educational Resources (OER) Wikieducator Workshop to be held
from xx to xx of <month>, 2007

It is with pleasure that we would like to invite you to our Open Educational Resources (OER)
Wikieducator workshop that will be held on the 22nd -23rd of January, 2007 at the New Library
Building.

With many institutions turning to Open Distance Learning as a way of expanding their outreach, it is
important to evaluate innovative modern technologies that will support current educators to develop on
line content that can be accessible and used by their learners wherever they might be. While developing
on line learning materials is a step in the right direction, it is more important to put the material on an
open platform where content can be peer-reviewed and refined to become better and better as we build
communities of experts that can collaborate together.

In line with the above, this workshop will seek to impart the skills to develop open educational content
on the wikieducator platform. Find enclosed the workshop agenda and we hope that you will find our
workshop of relevance to you and/or your institution.

Yours truly,

XY Johnson
Educational Practioner
