**Technically the three days have passed but the conversation here remains open. Thanks for participating!**

Join us for three days of focused discussion on the relevance of the Reusability Paradox, curricular alignment of OER, using Kolibri Studio for delivering offline OER, and more. **Participate when it works for you**.

## Background on the Focus Topic

From his work in Chile aligning K-12 curriculum with offline OERs delivered via [Learning Equality’s Kolibri Studio](https://learningequality.org/kolibri/), [Werner Westermann shares a new perspective](https://blog.learningequality.org/offline-oer-and-the-reusability-paradox-a636f86ba1d5) on [David Wiley’s Reusability Paradox](https://opencontent.org/docs/paradox.html), published in 2002. Is there more to confronting the paradox than just open licenses?
