Feedback on Banner #1 - Enabling Awareness Around the Globe
I don't think "Awareness" is the best concept for the banner.
I would say the following are better:
- Enabling learning around the globe or
- Enabling education around the globe
The fist option is my preference because you can learn for free without the need for assessment or credentialing.

OERu connects learners around the world with defined pathways to education, created by recognized educators and assessed by renowned global institutions. The learning is free and credentialing is very affordable.
We have an amazing network of like minded thought-leaders. We are certainly "renowned" in the OER credentialing space. That said - we are not renowned in the sense of "Ivy league" rankings and wondering if it would be better to say assessed by accredited global institutions or assessed by credible institutions. What do partners think or am I being to conservative in blowing our own trumpets?
I think you're underselling yourself - you've got an amazing assembly of globally recognized professionals and institutions, all working together to do good. While we might not want to use 'renowned' in all of the collateral we're creating, I think we're well within our rights to say this on our (apparently I've taken ownership here...) website - which is where this banner will live.
