OERu/OERu 14.11/PFA Identify and select high priority pilots for the future

Strategic goal
Foster innovation through pilot projects which demonstrate the viability and strategic opportunities for the OERu network

Strategic objective
Objective 1: Identify, design and implement OERu pilot projects to inform future improvements and innovations in the OERu model


 * Focus: Select and identify high priority pilots.

Strategic approach

 * 1) The OERu subscribes to a design-based research approach where pilots are conceptualised and implemented iteratively in authentic settings.
 * 2) Project steps are informed by a series of Probe (making a change), Sense (review), Respond (act) cycles so that each iteration is small enough to fail but when aggregated help to inform overall decision-making.

Key performance indicator(s) for 2015
(Provide recommendation for recalibrated target if necessary)
