Feedback on final version of the elevator pitch
The final version is almost complete - but we need to fix a technicality. The proposed final version reads:
OERu is an international network of innovative higher education institutions inspired by the vision of opening access to a credible, high-quality and affordable education to learners around the world. Through OERu, learners develop knowledge and earn globally recognized qualifications that can be applied for credit transfer into formal programmes at partner institutions.
The problem
- Normally learners don't earn a recognized qualification and then apply it for credit transfer. The process of credit transfer is the OERu mechanism through which learners gain the qualification.
Minor tweak
I propose the following tweak:
OERu is an international network of innovative higher education institutions inspired by the vision of opening access to a credible, high-quality and affordable education to learners around the world. Through OERu, learners develop knowledge and earn credits toward globally recognized qualifications that can be applied for credit transfer into formal programmes at partner institutions.
I don't see a way of getting round the repetition of "credible" / "credits" and "credit transfer" unless we cut the credit transfer piece.
I've been playing with this for a bit, but i think you've got the best solution. Are we OK to leave out the 'credit transfer' section? If not, is there another, universally accepted, way to say the same thing?
