OER4Ed/Challenges

The way forward for OER
If we look at literature on 'sharing of learning resources’ (CD-LOR Project, Sharing e-learning content,Good Intentions report) we will find many of the barriers (real or perceived) experienced by institutions, communities and individuals well documented. For the purpose of this discussion let’s look at the barriers to re-using or producing OER from the point of view of educators (academic staff, teachers) and also try and identify some enablers to help overcome these barriers. Here is list of some of the berries and enablers identified in a JISC led project Pilot Phase Barriers and Enablers to get us started. Feel free to add more from your personal experience.
