 * 2) *5 things you should know about OERu:| "5 things" PDF
 * 3) *About the OERu


 * 1) Key features of OERu courses: "Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge” Hewlitt - Atkins, Brown and Hammond (2007)


 * OPEN: One key component of the OERu courses is that the materials are 100% open (The 4 R’s of reusability: Reuse, Redistribute, Revise, Remix.
 * COMPLETE COURSE: An OERu course needs to have a course guide, learning outcomes, resources, learning activities, and assessments. A student should be able to receive credentials from one of the partnering institutions for completing the required course assessments. Evidence of completion may vary from different assignments or a final project / exam.
 * MULTI-USER FOCUS: Since the course is open, it should be designed with many potential target audiences in mind. Students may choose to engage with the course in a variety of ways (individually, with a teacher, etc.).

 * 20) *Putting a course design and development team together: The ideal development process should be open, as contributors use wikieducator to keep planning notes and course documents. The development team can be made up of people with different skill sets (editors, subject matter experts, media, instructional designers, educational technology experts, etc.). Note that resources exist to assist course developers, for examples, using wikieducator, solving technology issues, etc.
