Questions for discussion
:: Considering access and connectivity constraints, what file formats, file sizes, etc. are best?
:: Is there a quality assurance process after an OER module is finished to ensure that a material is reviewed for policy issues (e.g. dScribe)? Is the module also peer-reviewed for content?
:: Once an OER module is finished and reviewed, where is it stored? Who uploads it to the server? What is the process for updating materials?
