Quality Assurance Framework portal
Because the better the OER quality the better the education
This will become the top page of the Quality Assurance Framework portal. The purpose of the site is to consolidate the reference and rationale for the Quality Assurance and Review within WikiEducator.

Our guiding principles
|
Quality is:
- a commitment to improve education around the world and not a mechanism to exclude new members from our community;
- the collective responsibility of WikiEducators who develop and use our teaching materials;
- enhanced by the design and development processes WE adopt and not the technologies we use;
- an elusive and complex concept -- it means different things to different people and will always be context-dependent;
- a process and not a state, recognising that materials start as a draft and mature through reiterative contributions from the originating authors and the community;
- grown out of a healthy community, where all members are recognized and rewarded for their contributions;
