Models for Sustainable Open Educational Resources - Stephen Downes, National Research Council Canada

This paper depicts the sustainability of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in terms of the three models: funding, technical, and content. Discussion and recommendations are focused on the sustainability of OERs and the requirement that we think of OERs as only part of a larger picture B one that includes volunteers and incentives, community and partnerships, co-production and sharing, distributed management and control. http://www.cdlprojects.com/cmc11blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/IJKLOv3p029-044Downes1.pdf
