Activity schedule
| # | Activity | Summary description | Responsibility | Target date / Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example | Survey 1st year BGS requirements | Conduct a survey of OERu partners with a BGS to determine subject requirements for 1st year of study | Curriculum & programme of study group (or individual / institution) | 15 April 2015 (or ongoing) |
| 1 | Git 'er done | Internal university team - mix of appropriate skill levels necessary to complete course development. EG library, instructional design, ed tech, etc. Avoid committee bog-down. Put courses into workflow. Look for academic champions. Keep clear of academic/bureaucratic minefields. Keep team agile. | TBD | March 2015 |
| 2 | Global community | Stay global - have world leaders not regional - create global (UNESCO/OERu/world chairs or fellows/ reference group leaders - representing each of the different areas eg library, ID, technical specialties, academic fields. Carefully described role e.g. mentor, leadership. Term limited. | TBD | March 2015 |
| 3 | Stack overflow | Get away from centralized approach to OERu Q&A. Automated help desk approach with stack overflow FAQ - automated - put questions back to the community. Build leadership within the WikiEducator or OERu community. People build reputations by providing good answers. | TBD | March 2015 |
