OERu/OERu 15.10 Meeting/Session 3

Objectives

The objectives of this session are to:

1. Reflect on progress of the implementation of the OERu during 2015 - our "consolidation" year
2. Situate the OERu implementation within the context of maturity model phases of
   • Initial / Aware: (chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics) - the starting point for use of a new or undocumented open project.
   • Repeatable: openness is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps toward openness may be attempted.
   • Managed: openness is quantitatively managed in accordance with agreed-upon metrics
   • Optimising: openness management includes deliberate principle/process/practice optimization/improvement.
3. Review achievement of outputs against initial KPIs in the OERu Strategic Plan.
4. Review the 2015 OERu institutional action plan (IAP) process implemented for the first time.
5. Consider guidelines for nominating courses drawing on data from the OERu Input Evaluation Survey (see results for Q14).
6. Develop recommendations for promoting effective partner engagement.
