Self-paced online courses designed for faculty audiences that would be useful to librarians:

• "Pathways" Curriculum created (and taught) by Tidewater Community College
• Learn OER (from Washington State) 
• The OpenLearningHub http://openlearninghub.net has hosted a MOOC the last years in the Spring and maintains an active presence on Twitter and via Blogs. It's broader than OER, but is a great source for information.
