Feedback from Jim Taylor, OERF Board member and Emeritus Professor, USQ

Here are a few comments that could also be relevant to the work by Helen Baxter and her team on the forthcoming Partners Video Script and Animatic:

  • OERu is an international innovation partnership of over 30 quality-accredited higher education institutions sharing expertise to provide currently excluded learners from around the world with affordable access to online higher education.
  • By extending the philosophy of open access research to a selected range of online open access courses primarily at the first year level, OERu partner institutions (by offering just two courses each) are providing learners with the opportunity to gain academic credit towards globally recognized credentials without facing significant financial outlays. Student fees for these open access courses are based only on the cost-recovery of assessment services.
  • The OERu open business model outlines the benefits of the collaborative use of open source technologies and Creative Commons licensing to enable learners to make an effective transition to higher education, thereby enabling institutions to meet social justice targets, enhance cost efficiency and build sustainability.
