Pre-Launch Due Diligence
The due diligence steps the OERu network should undertake before launching our 1st year of study.

OERu Responsibility

 * remind institutions of their copyright clearance obligations (implicit for any Wikieducator materials)
 * date for marketing to completing course materials
 * information for learners (clear definitions of terms) regarding the generic (i.e. boilerplate) relationship between learners and institutions (expectations of timing, formats, etc.)
 * a web page showing a list of institutions who will accept transfer credits from other institutions

Individual Institutional Responsibility

 * course preparations/materials are fully proofed
 * materials cleared for Copyright infringement (per institution)
 * registration, fee determination, payment method/gateway
 * include any variations from the boilerplate information for learners, particularly identity of the institution contact details, transfer credit, pre-requisites/programme information, and assessment pricing structure
 * keeping institutional details up-to-date (e.g. pricing, address, contact information)
 * courses completed and validated as they will be available for transfer credit with that institution

Learner Responsibility

 * hold all materials required for assessment
 * contact the selected assessing institution, enter into "contract" for assessment, and make materials available for assessment according to institution's requirements.
