Dear Dr. Wayne and other friends,
The proposed AOER framework may also cover market/transaction management of agriculture commodities. It will help in two ways, One after education the students can continue with microfinance entrepreneurship activities etc in agriculture sector, two: if they continue academic/research activities they will be able to easily connect the researches to develop successful livelihood models.
Warm regards

Hello,
Although the definitions we have referred to are pretty general for OER, we have only really been referring to courseware, learning objects and a little to text books). Do we want to at all think about FLOSS/OSS, OA research, Learning Designs, Open Design Patterns, etc.? Or will this just confuse the issue??
Hi Ken,
There is a subsection titled: Inventory of CourseWare Assets which documents the growth on OER content. I'm wondering whether we shouldn't change this subtitle to "International growth in OER"' (or something similar) as this will provide us the scope to highlight capacity development projects and advocacy initiatives which are also good indicators of the increased international momentum around OER?
Ken, thank you for a very thorough overview of OER in general. You provide the base discussion on top of which we will build the case for each approach we intend to pursue. The African context, issues and exmaples are central to the background and rationale and you've suggested several places for that work in this current version. Thanks!
To be precise, the project is not specifically aimed for agricultural universities. It is aimed at universities, colleges, faculties, and departments of agriculture. For example, the RUFORUM consortium includes at least one university of agriculture--Sokoine, it also includes a college--Bunda College of Agriculture, as well as faculties. So I would use the wording that I have suggested above or some variant of it.
