Issues, questions and suggestions

• Social media digital literacy skills will be a prerequisite requirement for successful learning in this environment. Consequently, the initiative will need to provide the necessary support resources to acquire these skills. See Open student support.
• We are also required to identify and list Open Teaching skill sets and subsequently launch an Open Teachers Training initiative ---Anil Prasad 04:58, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
• key issue is to put the student at the centre.
• Use key resources - many example are available and are of quality, eg Noodle tools,http://www.noodletools.com/ Intute, DOAJ, http://www.doaj.org/ TED, http://www.ted.com/ many of the resources on these sites are more current and up to date than some traditional resources
• Use of aggregators which provides quality materials that are useable
• Frame the learning activities around the resources to develop engagement, by embedding the tools and resources into the curriculum
• students find resources - they can discuss these in open fora, can use a variety of methodologies such as PBL WBL, Case study.
• Train students how to use resources
• develop faculty in how to use resources and design around these.
• Use of Post Grad students to develop resources
• Discovery learning - where students through tools discover learning resources and material, engagement can be designed through wiki's
• The use of e-portfolios
