What is the OERu doing well?

 * Established network without much funds
 * Provide enrichment to participants
 * Every step of the movement is documented and transparent
 * Models open practices
 * Genuine bottom-up movement

Where or how can the OERu network improve?

 * Not hitting targets for participation
 * Selling clear benefits to CEOs e.g. newsletter
 * Sharing of related institutional policy documents
 * Wiki not always intuitive
 * Whole institution need to be involved
 * Clarity of where OERu is going
 * Need parallel progress in course and framework development
 * Start looking at themes
 * Strategic needs analysis to identify portfolio of courses – could be low-hanging fruit

What are the top 3 priorities this partner meeting should address?

 * How to get courses up and running
 * Start to identify themes for courses development
 * Dealing with RPL i.e. the “OERu credit transfer and course articulation guidelines”

Do you have any issues which should be tabled at the OERu Council of CEOs meeting?
