Screencasts for selected components of our infrastructure

I noticed that the University of Wollongong have developed a few professional screencasts for their course under development.

I think these could be useful for a few selected components of the OERu. For example:

  1. Navigating the OERu planning pages (an orientation of the structure)
  2. How to register to participate in an OERu working working group.
  3. Creating and posting an item on the community.oeru.org site

Other target audiences?

The minutes recognise that there is overlap between the identified roles and target audiences. However, I think we should also identify specific roles which are unique to the OERu as an organisation as these roles have different responsibilities and use different technologies. I'm thinking here about succinct support resources which summarise the responsibilities of the following positions:

  1. OERu focal point ie. the primary OERu contact person at each institutions
  2. Working group participant i.e. folk who contribute to one or more of the active working groups.
  3. CMS administrators i.e. the folk who have password access to manage their pages on the main OERu website.
  4. Working group conveners i.e. the members of the OERuMC
  5. Community volunteers

Thoughts about tiers of "need to know" and corresponding technologies for communicating information

You probably touched on the topic of different tiers of "need to know" and the different technologies used to share the information among the target audience, for example:


  1. Interested person from OERu partner - someone who wants a high level overview of the collaboration. Probably about 80% of the audience. This is the 5 things you need to know. These people don't need to visit the wiki and I think we should host this kind of information on the main OERu.org site. In addition, we could point these folk to the comunity.org.site should they want to ask anything about the OERu.
  2. Folk who participate in the working groups - possibly 15% - 20% of the audience. These folk need to know how to register for a working group, navigate the working group pages and how to join the group.oeru.org site.
  3. The dOERs - the folk who design, develop and produce things for OERu about 10% of the audience. These folk need basic wiki skills and should complete the DS4OER course.

When sequencing the mOOC sessions we could begin with the pathway for "interested people" and the progress towards learning pathways for people who are planing to engage more in the cooperation. I strongly recommend the use of "learning challenges" i.e small doing tasks (eg creating an account and posting on the community site.)

This is looking good!
