Questions for Wayne

 * No. of courses for L4C
 * face to face
 * online


 * No. of students per course (average)
 * L4C - 80 M, 80F


 * Lots. see FTF and Online --Mackiwg 21:20, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You'll need to calculate the average -- around 80 sounds right, but can also be high. For example we ran an OCL4Ed workshop with 1067 participants.


 * No. of hours per course
 * L4C
 * No. of hours to achieve WikiBuddy (8 hours) - retrieved from Learning Contract (pdf)
 * That's about right -- of course, depends on prior knowledge and webskills of the learner.


 * Where is content located & hosted - on WE, Moodle (both)
 * Correct -- technically all the content is hosted on WE, but we use the LMS as an alternative for learners who prefer a more structured and sequenced learning experience. --Mackiwg 21:20, 21 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Use of Hewlett proposal content - can I use in LOI
 * Sure -- as long as you license your proposal as CC-BY-SA --Mackiwg 21:20, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm now seeing the distinction between the proposal prep (LOI, and if successful, the longer form) and the course content / design. I can see the value of the Hewlett Bid proposal info because (1) it was very good; (2) useful verbiage and concepts; and (3) successful in securing funding; and (4) would certainly save us time in preparing the longer form proposal info. I think it would be OK to relicense CC-BY-SA - but I would run this by both Rosario (waiting) and Norm (OK). - Randy Fisher 03:46, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Use of WikiMaster typology - CC-BY-SA
 * Yes, but again you will need to relicense the derivative work as CC-BY-SA --Mackiwg 21:20, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Same as above - Randy Fisher 03:46, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Whats' the value of resources developed on WE?
 * from Hewlett Bid
 * Otago - Facilitating Online
 * WE hosting costs
 * Use of WE/Moodle
 * Not an easy question - -depends on what capitalisation model you're using - -How do you quantify donations in time from the community?
 * Understood - but there was basic development time costs. I think I might even have seen reference to the line item costs, before the donations in time. - Randy Fisher 03:46, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Can content from WE - be easily ported to WE Moodle?
 * That's very easy - see help about iframe links
 * CC-BY in Moodle (not NC)
 * Depends on the source license - -if SA needs to be relicensed as SA. If CC-BY, whatever license is applied for the derivative in Moodle.
 * Our original plan was to create the content as CC-BY in the wiki, and then apply an NC license to the derivative as it would be delivered via LMS - whichever one that would be. Can derivative content with NC be delivered via WE Moodle, even though source content on WE is CC-BY? - Randy Fisher 03:46, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The OER Foundation subscribes to free cultural works licensing as a matter of policy. We can't host NC materials - its against our constitution.


 * However, it would not be expensive to purchase hosting services in the cloud for a Moodle install for your course. You could have a word with Jim (who works with a few techies in providing Moodle hosting) or any of the many Moodle hosting providers.  You could also experiment with the Canvas (Instructure) open source system which offer a free service to host courses (with all the standard risks of using no-cost services.)


 * The other option is to consider using a CC-BY-SA license --- I personally believe that its more than adequate to protect your commercial interests. Anyone who takes your materials and adds value, would be obligated to re-license the derivative work under the same license which you could then incorporate for your own business. - Wayne Mackintosh


 * What can OERu do for us, etc.
 * Other
 * Does Contact Point support iFrames (WE pages are)
 * Don't know the technology. --Mackiwg 21:20, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * ContactPoint and OrientAction are built in WordPress. - Randy Fisher 16:10, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Google Search - WordPress & IFrames
