If learners go on to gain formal credit at another institution based on competencies gained through their participation in an OER/open course having received support from a volunteer - wouldn't that be great feedback to the vol. Not sure how...but something to think about.
That is a very valid point Irwin,
We need to consider how we can integrate - incorporate OER learner feedback / rating of services offered by AVIs into the framework.
Let's keep thinking and refining the concept

Re: How do we provide credit/recognition for vols?
by simon fenton-jones -
Thanks Irwin,
That was my thinking. How do we encourage informal credentials to be accepted by institutions?
It's an interest of many others inside institutions.
Irwin,
I think thats a brilliant idea. What better kudos for an AVI volunteer than helping an OERu learner who may oherwise not have had the opportunity for formal study gaina degree.
We must think of ways in which to recgnise these volunteer contributions.
