I think the integration will be challenging because of the details but not impossible. We began this discussion talking about "credentials" I prefer "tracks" for reasons already mentioned...but we could develop a few "tracks" or "routes" for students who want a somewhat structured experience...for instance someone in the conversation mentioned a sort of "general learning" track with a mix of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, math etc. Someone else mentioned a "technology" track or perhaps a "technology ed" track...both of those have lots of OER materials on the web that students could use...we might also consider a community and economic development track (or community organizing)...my personal favorite...

I like both of these Joyce,
1. economic development track (or community organizing)
2. I think a "track" that a student could take with emphasis on various web skills, e-learning, etc. would be a terrific idea
Conflate the two and you've got me, and I think a few thousand others. Sponsors?
N.B. "Track" is to "trash" as "Course" is to "garbage", depending what side of the Atlantic you're on
I don't have the time to set an ideascale box up. But maybe it would be useful here.
