Seems to me there are some major gaps in the whole OER movement related to scaffolding straightforward (agile) process for creation and reuse in a manner that makes the processes feasible/accessible to instructors. Currently the pain-for-gain threshold seems way too high.

I’ll read your paper, Peter. Thanks for providing the link..

However, I think the diagram describes more than an IP clearance process. Embedded within it are processes called: creation, quality control and technical. I know I have heard you speak (lament) on the quality control (or lack thereof) item at various stages of OER development processes.

These are macro process categories, that while not described in any detail, announce that there are multiple steps in the OER creation and reuse process that also need to be further described and/or built-out in a more convivial manner.

For me, this diagram represents a high-level view that could form the basis for a more detailed “how-to,” or form the basis of a workshop series that explored all of the *actual* behaviours and practices you note. It might then begin to frame the optimal processes in a *useful and usable* set of resources that could attract more instructors to both create and reuse in whatever manner seemed most efficacious *to them.*
