Thread:Suggestions / offer for help with opening up English-medium OERu prototype courses (3)

Hi Alannah,

This is very valuable feedback. Clearly you are an experienced practitioner in the field -- thank you very much for your contributions :-).

Without getting into the debates of skill transfer associated with integrating these kind of skills within courses or teaching them as standalone capacity development -- I think we have a unique advantage with the OER and OERu model in that we can combine and implement both approaches.

If we're smart in the way we design the OERs -- they can be reused in multiple contexts.

Putting pragmatism over zeal we've got to start start somewhere with the resources we have with the knowledge that being open they can be reused and tweaked for a wide range of purposes.

Look forward to your contributions in both College composition and the other support resources which may be required to achieve success for all our prospective learners
