Designing OERu Credentials: Aug 29-Sept 13, 2011

I'm with Rory on this one -- the "traditional" does not preclude "non-traditional" solutions. In fact, I suspect they may be able to support each other in a connected future. I see the traditional, non-traditional and everything in between as nodes within an evolving OER ecosystem.

Me too...the more we can try to help "traditional" and "non-traditional" come together the better. There are a substantial number of us non-traditional institutions that have credibility now that it can be done. Joyce McKnight, Empire State College

As a small educational charity - -the OER Foundation has opted to focus our contributions to the more traditional approaches.

I think you are right to focus...the OER Foundation is taking on quite a lot...but on the other hand several, if not most, of the anchor partners are already "non-traditional". We have just been around long enough and formally accredited long enough to have some credibility.
