Questions discussed at the webinar:

• What factors do have an impact on quality of open educational resources (and open education in general)?
• How do we ‘measure’ quality? Or: where is the evidence?
• How can we improve quality? What measures could be taken by the teacher/author, by the institution, by the community?
• Should we go for a sort of accreditation (formal recognition)? Or more for a qualification (‘like’)? And how do we organize this?
• What is the role of students, learners in the quality debate?
