OERu/Open student support

Issues, questions and suggestions

 * how do we ensure quality student engagement? can volunteers do this?
 * seems like this is a lot of work for volunteers, even if it is 'just' facilitating learning
 * can volunteers adequately support a potentially very wide range of students - background, culture, educational level, etc, etc
 * does this encompass teaching/tutoring support as well as learning support such as using a library, study skills, writing essays?
 * can volunteers adequately guide the learning, do summative assessment?
 * where will volunteers come from? the institute that will do the qualification conferment?
 * much open student support will have to come from peer-learning

Activities

 * OERs for social media literacy: Activity to develop independent study resources to support learners in acquiring the social media literacy skills needed for success in open learning environments.
