• Starting work on a pilot course with the eCampus Alberta tool (Adrian)

ACTIONS from the last meeting

Wayne: to contact Alberta eCampus for access to the quality documentation and toolkit eCampusAlberta site no longer exists, but traced a snapshot of the quality tools via the Internet Archive Wayback machine.

Wayne: to determine if there are linkages between this work and that undertaken by the OERu Curriculum & Planning Group.

Note: all members have agreed to use the Quality Review Project website, the chat.oeru.org tool, and the OERu Community tool to support open and transparent planning processes and accountable communication. In addition, all future meetings of this group will be recorded to become part of this record.
