Open Curriculum
Students choose what is of interest to them and what meets their professional development needs from the “smorgasbord” of available open courses
designed and based solely on OER

• To guarantee the credibility of open scholarship for academic credit, the assessment process must be strictly equivalent to that for mainstream students
• “Open” Assessment must therefore involve payment of a fee (cost recovery only) or a scholarship scheme
