ACTIONS from the last meeting

Wayne: to determine if there are linkages between this work and that undertaken by the OERu Curriculum & Planning Group.

Note: all members have agreed to use the Quality Review Project website, the chat.oeru.org tool, and the OERu Community tool to support open and transparent planning processes and accountable communication. In addition, all future meetings of this group will be recorded to become part of this record.
