Strategic goal
Achieve a fiscally sustainable and scalable OERu network
Strategic objective
Improve community engagement for OERu planning, implementation, technology innovation and technology integration
- Focus: Design processes and support mechanisms for the establishment and operation of Academic Volunteers International (AVI)
Strategic approach
- Incremental design is the preferred modus operandi to ensure agility of the OERu network.
- Open communication with a transparent public record of decisions aims to build community and facilitate long term sustainability.
- To scale capability development the OERu advocates a "pay it forward" model, where the beneficiaries of new OERu skills are encouraged to repay their learning by helping a new community member in the future.
Key performance indicator(s) for 2015
(Provide recommendation for recalibrated target if necessary)
- AVI Process design framework to communicate activities where volunteer help is needed and to coordinate volunteers.

| 2 | Utilise existing open sites | Explore the availability of online learning support websites which could be utilised for this purpose. | TBD | TBD |
| 3 | Draw upon existing structures | Institutions all have community service expectations for staff. This could attract academics to AVI service. Consider using structures such as Supplemental Instruction and Meet Up to provide generic support to students as opposed to discipline specific support. | TBD | TBD |
