This is cool! Thanks for sharing! :smiley:

Dear Alan,

your recommendations would be a great asset to the OER world map.

Greetings, Susanne

Thanks. These are actually automatically posted here from sites I bookmark in PinBoard. There is an RSS feed Pinboard (cogdog) though not sure how to get the location and other items into OER World Map

But here is a question, @SusanneGrimm – where in the world map do I put a location for Open Historical Map where the project is based? (I am not sure).

How can the geographic map organize resources that really are not associated with a physical location? Or ones that have multiple locations?
