OERu/Getting started with OERu/Introducing OERu snap shot tour

The strength of the OERu consortium lies in the diversity of our international network of partners spanning six major regions of the world and volunteer contributors from the open community.

The OERu is a distributed, international and open organisation. It comprises many moving parts and adopts an agile development approach. It's not surprising that newcomers may be confused by what the OERu is and how it operates. We have selected a few online resources which provide a snap shot tour of the OERu.

The OERu is an open community which provides the opportunity for anyone to join and contribute to our collaborative effort. Open communities are characterised by the open sharing of ideas through conversation and we value the the process more than the product. OERu courses are designed for independent study and rely on high levels of peer-to-peer learning interactions to support the learning process because offering courses for free, we do not have the funding to cover the costs of online tutorial services.
