+5. Q&A
+#### What is possible to do within the zOS instance?
+Paul responded the goal of this course is to address beginner level COBOL with modern tooling. To that end, the goal is to introduce learners to zOS and enterprise COBOL
+
+#### What is the end product? Any strategy to market to universities
+The course on OMP was created with the intent and goal for academics / universities to take this and use for a semester COBOL Class. 
+Sudharsana talked about IBM's Academic Initiative team and happy to connect David with the team to further explore opportunities with UNCC
+Cameron Saey mentioned a series of classes offered at ECU.
+
+#### Any plans to merge this content with Master the Mainframe?
+No. MtM is to give a broader understanding of Mainframes and zOS. While there is a little overlap this course is primarily focussed on COBOL.
