Brainstorm list

• In many institutions, professional academic development units are under-resourced for meeting the needs on campus. OER can potentially help reduce costs of academic development while widening access to professional development opportunities. --Wayne Mackintosh 22:44, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
• What are the most pressing academic development needs which are not currently being addressed and how do we find this out? -- This is a productive area for OER4PAD. --Wayne Mackintosh 22:44, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
• What existing PAD resources exist under all rights reserved which could be "donated" under an open content license for the OER4PAD concept? --Wayne Mackintosh 22:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
• What is the potential for institutions to collaborate on presenting online PAD workshops using the Learning4Content model? Institutions could share the load by rotating facilitation of these online workshops while generating more professional development opportunities for academics at all our campuses. --Wayne Mackintosh 22:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
