Thread:Excellent blueprint -- thoughts and reflections (2)

Hi! Wayne

Thank you for the comments and feedback, this is most useful. To continue the conversation.


 * I would like to make sure all the recommended reading resources are OER. There is currently a copyrighted, purpose-written textbook for the course. We would like to see if we can negotiate that this is released as an OER as well, but it is very much still in process. The focus of the recommended reading will thus be OER materials, if we cannot negotiate CC publication of the text, we would recommend it, but it would definitely not be a required source. In either case a traditional textbook presentation of materials, even if openly licenced will not be the primary source for the course. I will clarify in the blueprint as soon as we have certainty.
 * I seemed to have made a slight error in the delivery mode section and not have saved my edits. I have rectified it. There will not be compulsory questionnaires. We were thinking of possibly having a short community based project employing critical reasoning.
 * The assessment that I have put in here is the tasks which we will have as part of the OER course. The accreditiation at Unisa will probably involve the submission of a portfolio of all or a selection of the tasks, which will probably be followed up with a challenge exam. These issues will be addressed during our OER strategy planning in the next few weeks.
