What are the issues and challenges?
Sergio Russo http://flic.kr/p/9BDLD XNAHandkor http://flic.kr/p/67JkdD
Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
Credit transfer and course articulation
Quality assurance
● Cross border compatibility of national/regional systems ● Cottage industry / lack of standardisation
● Scalability challenges ● Expensive (when compared to ratio of tuition fees)
● Not designed for disaggregated OER systems ● Specific requirements for OER systems

Drawing on three studies
Key findings and outputs
OER courses + disaggregated services = Affordable access
No material policy barriers – reuse existing assessment practices
Six scenarios to inform future planning
