Global survey - Assessment and credentialisation survey. Inviting all post-secondary institutions

[Wayne Mackintosh]

Invitation to all accredited post-secondary institutions

You can help the global OER community to take stock of the assessment and credentialisation practices in the formal higher-education sector today by completing a short online survey for your institution.

The survey is available at:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_GB&formkey=dHdRYXpvVkRWSDFqSTBJQi1zbWJlbUE6MQ#gid=0 

or

All post-secondary institutions are invited to post responses. All data will be dedicated to the public domain and freely available for your own research activities. 

The Founding Anchor Partners of the OER university (OERu) will also participate in the survey thus proving opportunities for you to compare your own assessment and credentialing practices with these global leaders who are planning pathways for OER learners to gain formal academic credit.  

Purpose
 
The aim of the survey is to identify existing practices which could potentially provide opportunities for OER learners to gain formal recognition for their learning. The information will assist the OERu network in planning workable solutions for OER learners to gain formal recognition for their learning. The survey is designed to collect information regarding the various credentialing paths and existing practices for assessment and credit transfer at universities colleges, and polytechnics. All planning for the OERu is conducted openly and transparently, and we will share the outputs of this work freely for all institutions.
