Hi Wayne

Here at USQ we are developing a course entitled "e-Literacy for Contemporary Society" which will use the pedagogy of discovery.  The course will effectively embed learning literacies for a digital age in the "substantive content" of the curriculum of the Diploma of Arts, which also acts as a pathway to the Bachelor of General Studies. 

Similarly, we are also developing courses that embed these learning literacies into the pedagogy of the following foundation courses:  "Academic and Professional English" (Faculty of Arts) and "Organisational Behaviour" (Faculty of Business & Law) respectively. 

These three courses will be based solely on the use of OERs and all could provide opportunities for students to gain credit towards a Bachelor of General Studies.

Hi Jim, I'm very interested in the course "e-Literacy for Contemporary Society"

The fact that the course will be based solely on OERs plus released as OER makes it an ideal vehicle for OERu anchor partners to collaborate, including any volunteers outside the OERu network who has an interest in developing an exemplar learning experience in this area.

I think we're onto a winning model here :-)

Although less exciting and less innovative than Jim's e-literacy course, Peoples-uni would like to work towards offering a fully OER based unit on Global Health if this was felt to be relevant. No need to reply, just add it to the list if it might fit. Dick
