OER Elective Course Irwin provides a sketch of the OERu course and the plan for providing an MEd elective in January. Benefits: We may want to try to run it as an Open Boundary course - some students registered here at TRU, then also open participants (from OERu or other) The first run - blended - with some components from the OERu micro-credits course (how many to be determined) Set January as the target
 * Authentic learning experience
 * Creating OERs, interacting
 * Would be creating the first open on-campus course
 * Opportunities to create more links with partners and provide courses for MEd international students (before they come to campus)

What will we call it? Special Topics: Openness in Education

Next steps:
 * Pat and Donna will work on getting the course on the books
 * Need to decide on the instructor
 * Will start in the fall in the planning (tools, which OER components to use)
