Sheila Macneill has a new blog post the results of an “OER road trip” to various institutions who are currently working on OER projects. Macneill discusses various individual institution initiatives and points out patterns between them. The post also presented some recommendations for OER projects. From the blog post:
Although seed funding is key to getting things started, it can’t be relied on forever. Hewlett have already announced that they will stop funding OER projects in the near future and so sustainability needs to be considered from the outset. Perhaps a case of “an OER isn’t just for a JISC project but for life . . .” mentality is needed to be developed.
