The OERu theme was developed for the Digital Skills for OER course ran by the OERu (OER University)
It was built as part of a process to allow content to be extracted from MediaWiki using its API, and then sent into WordPress. The OpenStart and MOLIE plugins do something similar.
The theme has a lof of extras – including various shortcodes for making learning objects (suited to instructional desgn), licensing and picture attribution so could be a useful theme for any online courses including MOOCs. The basis of the theme is bootstrap, but this was modified to bring it inline with how WordPress performs certain tasks.
