Opportunities and Challenges in OER

Norm Friesen has a new article about the opportunities and challenges in OER in the July 2009 Open Business Resource. The article provides an overview of wiki-based OER efforts and OCW-oriented projects. From the article:

Both wiki-based resource sets and collections of courseware must find long-term support or revenue. They must develop their particular work from the status of a project to become a program, organization or consortium. It is disquieting to read in a recent report on OER that “the majority of OER development” are generally still being “undertaken on a project basis”.

Thanks to Twitter users “hitthebutton” and “glynmoody” for the tweets.
