OERu/OERu 15.10 Meeting/Goal 4 Strategic priorities

=Goal 4=

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

Baseline
Historically OERF and OERu has implemented small valuable pilots, including:Sel


 * SP4Ed open boundary course model embedding a MOOC prototype with full-fee students studying in parallel with OERu learners.
 * Selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code project to prototype peer evaluation
 * Concept proposal to develop a credit bearing course on how to develop a portfolio.

However, these projects have not gained a critical mass of interest of traction from the network to date. TESC have donated a PLAR course, but no partners have stepped forward to assist with internationalising the course for different regions. This innovation is placed on hold.

Currently, there are promising discussions among 4 OERu partners to develop a shared mOOC in Culinary Arts focusing on menu design as a potential innovation prototype.
