Digital skills for collaborative OER development/Design blueprint/FAQs

Wouldn't it be better to develop the design blueprint before publishing a course description?
Yes, some designers and developers will prefer working on a design blueprint before attempting a course description. In open design, there is no predetermined sequence and the model is highly iterative and incremental. Open design can be likened to the Cathedral and Bazaar tensions between top-down versus bottom-up design in software development. Open development of courses can accommodate more iterative design approaches, where for example, the course descriptions could evolve in parallel with the blueprinting process because both are simultaneously available for feedback, comment and rapid iterations. Start at the point which makes sense in your local context and personal preferences and experience. In the real world these two processes do not happen in isolation or sequentially.
