The objectives of this Microsite is to consolidate all the information about the framework used to evaluate and review the quality of WikiEducator based OER materials. This framework is meant to support the work found in the Quality Assurance and Review pages.

(: I think we should articulate the QAF objectives and shift this to the homepage of the portal under the purposes section - --Wayne Mackintosh 17:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC))

(: We need a visual overview on the about page --- wondering whether the Quality/Capability graphic and intro should be moved here? --Wayne Mackintosh 17:35, 30 September 2008 (UTC))

Approach

The approach to developing quality within WikiEducator will be threefold:

1. First, it will be community based where the members of the WikiEducator community can collaborate to set the approach to quality.
2. Second, it will be founded upon the growing body of knowledge related to educational quality. Particularly, the research focused upon Open and Distance Learning (ODL).
3. Third, it will be based upon the e-Learning Maturity Model.
