Needs analysis for OERu orientation
This section is work done mainly by the Partner Engagement working group. Discussions held by the group determined that a needs analysis would be required to configure appropriate orientation methods for the OERu.

- Copied from message by Wayne Mackintosh through Partners Engagement Group Sept. 14, 2015. "I've read through the framework and I think the team has got the classification of the main target audience about right.
- Open question: Do we need an "interested person" target audience classification. I'm thinking of staff members at partner institutions who are not directly involved with the OERu - but may have a "superficial" interest in finding out a little more about the OERu and perhaps following the community conversation on community.oeru.org. I wouldn't think that an "interested person" would have a need to visit the wiki or join an active working group. This information may also be valuable for community volunteers.
- I'm posting a few comments on the framework here so that there is a public record of feedback using open technologies:
- Regarding senior admin row: You can also get credit recognised locally by submitting assignments for assessment or transfer credit (which in some institutions is not classified as PLAR.) I think the brochure is an excellent idea. The OER Foundation has a small capability development grant from Hewlett which aims to fill a capability gap in our marketing and recruitment. Perhaps some of this funding could be allocated to professional development of these promotional materials.
- Clarification on the DS4OER course - it is an open course which was developed as independent study materials - there is no need to register. All resources are accessible without password access :-). The structure of DS4OER, which is essentially a collection of "learning challenges", would make it very easy to run individual sessions. I trialled this approach for a face-to-face design sprint we ran at Otago Polytechnic.
