Re: [WikiEducator] Credentials and certification of OERs

We do not formally offer our credits for OERS but we do have a robust Prior Learning Assessment process in which matriculated students could conceivably receive college level credit through articulating learning done through OERS.   Our PLA credit is very very reasonable $300 US for evaluation of up to 96 credits.  However, PLA credits only "count" if they are part of our degree programs and students have to take at least 24 credits with us...I cannot see those credits becoming OER because of the economic realities of running an institution.   Dr. Joyce McKnight, Assistant Professor State University of New York/Empire State College.

I think it will be appropriate to initiate a certifying body and reviewers  if tht is not already done the reviews like being Merlot.
Just a thought.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently compiling some information about the development of
OERs, which will be available on WikiEducator shortly for those who
wish to comment on and add to it. But, I wonder if you know any
program/institution/organisation at a tertiary level that offers
credentials or certification for courses/units or modules that are
OERs.

There are some free courses available on the Internet (e.g.
http://alison.com/course/), but I’m not sure if they are OERs.

Your thoughts and comments on this issue are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Carina
