Suggest Pathways for becoming OERu Partner.
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:OERu/Strategic plan 2014 - 2017/Build OERu partner community source model for technology innovation and infrastructure support
Hi Ravi
To answer your questions, the OERu has established protocols here. Institutions must be accredited by their national (or regional) accreditation agencies in order to join the network. This is the mechanism for awarding formal academic credit.
The OERu website provides useful information for prospective partners and the organisation FAQs provides additional information.
Your point about expanding the network to incorporate testing centres will be valuable for OERu partners who are implementing a challenge examination model. However - your comments, suggestions don't appear to be related to the community source objective.
