OERu: Blending more affordable education futures

Abstract

The OER university (OERu) is an international collaboration of universities, polytechnics and community colleges from five continents using open education approaches to provide more affordable education for all students worldwide, especially learners who are excluded from the tertiary education sector. Wayne will provide an update on progress of the OERu's prototyping phase and illustrate how OER enables the disaggregation of traditional services in a sustainable way. The OERu network is shifting the question from "How do you achieve sustainable OER projects?" to "How will your institution remain sustainable without OER?"
