ABSTRACT
Executive Summary (partial)The reporting period covers the six months from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015 corresponding
with the 2nd year of the OERu's consolidation phase. Key achievements during the reporting period

contributing to an increase in the number of OERu course nominations for development.
2. Inaugural offering of the Digital Skills for Collaborative OER Development (DS4OER)
open online course.
3. Administration of the OERu open source software survey which confirmed interest from 4
partners to establish a shared open source technologist position.
4. Successful recruitment of a new Open Source Technologist position with $68,0000 (i.e. 80%
of the cost contributed by partners through a “matched-funding” project.)
5. Significant improvements in technology solutions for hosting OERu open courses.
6. Open consultation on the OERu credit transfer and course articulation guidelines.
7. Development of an open business model for the OER Foundation.
