LiaScript - WorldMap

This idea was motivated by the OER-World Map in order to to visualize the distribution of educational content that was created with LiaScript or events and meetings.

If you look at the world map, it quickly becomes clear that the internet is not as free and open as it might seem from Germany. In this map, we have deliberately omitted China and North Korea to give other countries the chance to turn “red” too. Looking at the current situation in Afghanistan, it becomes evident that the right to education is simply not available in many places.
