: Children working at the college level◀
Re: Children working at the college level
by Maria Droujkova ◀ 		I would like to see OER university - the undergraduate and graduate levels of it - to be open to children. Mostly, what is needed for that to happen is just saying "No" to age restrictions. There are some national regulations about children under 13 online that may need to be considered, though. suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
Re: Children working at the college level
by Vinod Kumar Kanvaria ◀ 		1. For the time being, we can think of just beginning from Post Graduate courses inspite of other lower levels. 2. Every learner of OERU must be provided with a Laptop by the university/state. 3. More emphasis must be towards self-motivated learning. 4. Our joint endeavours should be towards providing Free education and Free certifications to all irrespective of any constraints. suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀

: OER University Logic Model◀
Re: OER University Logic Model
by Wayne Mackintosh ◀ 		A few early thoughts and ideas which I'd like to throw into the mix. Clearly we will need to refine these as we move forward. suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
Re: OER University Logic Model
by Vinod Kumar Kanvaria ◀ 		I suggest, we should have - 1. A highly motivated and helping administrative section too. 2. A 24x7 call center for assisting students irrespective of spatial constraint. 3. A 365 days online registration and evaluation process. 4. Exam on demand mechanism. suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
Re: OER University Logic Model
by Peter Rawsthorne ◀ 		First, we need to engage the students. I look at the demographic having this conversation and I'd hedge the average age is > 50 and very entrenched in traditional models of HE (even though we don't think we are, who pays our salary? Sorry, but please think about this statement). I think there is a reason their are no 20 or 30 somethings participating in this discussion... they are learning somewhere else and developing skills in the open, they use the social network for reputation (the replacement for the credential). I think a rigorous body of research is required to see what value 10 (cause they are the target for all this) - 20 - 30 years old's put on credentials and the idea of OER. suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
Second, don't underestimate the importance of indigenous and localized knowledge. We are talking about creating a global centralized governing body. Does that make sense? Thinking about cultural / learning differences, etc... Should this be built from the bottom (village) up? I believe there is a lot of evidence showing the failures of centralized efforts toward development / education. How is this any different? suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
I think the first step to this project would be to gather the funds together and take a serious look at student engagement 10 to 25 year olds (what they want, how they want to learn, is OER something they will engage with? and how important is the credential?). Do some serious and rigorous research at the village level in a whole slew of developing countries. Document this research, get critical feedback. Engage the target demographics... suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀

: OERU Meeting -- Video highlights and summary posted◀
Re: WE volunteer
by Dr. Nellie Deutsch ◀ 		Maybe we can get a sticker/template for "I am a volunteer" for our information box on WikiEducator so we can be contacted when needed. Jim (tech person on WE) can create the box and connect it to the list of volunteers quite easily. suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀

Re: OERU Next Steps
by Bernard Nkuyubwatsi ◀ 		Partnering with professional organizations: suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
Re: OERU Next Steps
by Anil Prasad P ◀ 		As a first step towards organizing the volunteer activities, shall we create a page, some thing like, http://www.wikieducator.org/OER_university/volunteers in WikiEducator? and add their names in a table having columns for details such as suggestions Hilda Anggraeni ◀
