Thread:Welcome to the planning phase of the project (3)

This is a great topic to explore. I'd like to contribute to the project. I teach part time at a community college where we emphasize lifelong learning. I also run faculty development workshops on online teaching and learning and open educational resources.

The suggested outline looks fairly complete. Who is the intended reader/user for this OER? Educators? Subject matter experts who will be helping adults learning in their subject? Are these face-to-face or online learners? Is the education formal or informal - assessment implies formal? What are the learners likely to be learning - basic life skills? entrepreneurship? community leadership? auto repair? philosophy? brain surgery? This may make a difference in some of the areas in the outline and in the methods and practices suggested.

This is a wonderful project. Thanks for taking the initiative. --Valerie Taylor 12:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
