More information about COPs:
The OEC COP function is managed by the OEC Community Manager. Individual COPs will be led by an appointed OEC Fellow for COP Leadership, someone who has expertise and experience related to the area of interest to the community. This person will help to identify and invite new members to join the COP and to foster engagement in the community.
What the COP will do:
Particular COP functions will be determined by its members, to best support the needs of the community. Possibilities might include:
- Directory of members with contact, photo, bio, and areas of interest
- Discussion forums (threads initiated by community members)
- File sharing (i.e., articles, syllabi, notes from the community)
- Access OEC resources
- Develop new resources, such as collections of educational materials, and submit them for public posting on the OEC
- Propose and collaborate on a webinar series with the OEC
- Development of other collaboration functionality
