I have posted about OERu before but it’s now ready to go.
This project (and it’s CoL counterparts) pre-dates the whole MOOC hype, and for universities supporting a grown up philanthropic education agenda this is the path to follow (if it’s ‘Me Too” marketing stay with Coursdacity).
Mooc rival OERu puts accreditation on menu
“A “university” that will allow students to study courses from 31 institutions around the world for free online is to launch this week – and is billed as a more attractive option than massive open online courses.
Students who complete an Open Educational Resources University course will be able to pay a fee to have their work assessed for academic credit, which would then be recognised by all the universities participating in the OERu.”
