Moving beyond content • OER used for informal learning – Faculty, students, other universities use OER in many ways • But… – Support – institutional, faculty, pee rs? – Assessment? – Recognition/credit? – What are the next steps?

- 16. Big Questions • • • • credentials? learner support strategies? grading/assessment strategies? cost analysis/ financial breakdown (value proposition)? • level of support for course development? • quality standards in the course design?
- 17. Reflections • Critiques – Dreams and nightmares • Own experience & thoughts – Working in WikiEducator • Need to develop practices • & workflow • Rethinking everything – Learning about copyright – Explaining the concept – Need lots of time – Need to track and understand our learners – This is a huge, long-term undertaking • Personal benefits – Reignites sense of purpose – Incredible contacts – A live learning lab
