Hi Everyone, Sir John Daniel reflects and provides well-founded advice for the OER university in his recent, Ernest Boyer Lecture: "*Revolutions in higher education: **how many dimensions of openness?*" Sir John says:
"*Implicit in my own vision for the Open Educational Resource University is that it is not an accredited institution, but rather an umbrella organization for a network of participating institutions with longstanding reputations and accreditation."* ** * *Full text of the lecture is available from the COL website<http://www.col.org/resources/speeches/2011presentation/Pages/2011-03-23.aspx>. Sir John's strategic advice is embedded in the foundational planning of the OER university: - Quality assurance and institutional accreditation is the foundation stone on which the OER university is being built. - The OER university is an innovation partnership of like-minded credible institutions committed to creating pathways for OER learners to gain academic credit through the formal education system.
