Designing OERu Credentials: Aug 29-Sept 13, 2011

I have at least scanned the replies and I am seriously disturbed by the use of the term "credential" at all. I would be far happier with perhaps something like a "menu of studies" (probably in general learning areas) that students could develop through some kind of guided portfolio process...it might then be possible for some of the anchor partners and others to accept the student's selections for more or less automatic credit.

I bow to my colleague Betty but I think that for the OER-u to itself offer any kind of "credential" anywhere in the US higher ed system would be extraordinarily difficult and not worth the time needed. Joyce McK...SUNY/Empire State
