Sustainability

• Models for generating, updating, maintaining content

• What are the real costs of preparing an open course, open materials?

• The content of the commons is often hosted on platforms that may or may not be sustainable

• How to sustain the operations of programs and infrastructure we rely on: tools, licenses, services, platforms

• How to create sustainable publishing models that remunerate authors and/or create ethical publishing models

Incentives

• Authors: To generate content, to share it openly

• Grants available only for making open content

• Educators: To use open content

• All: Rewards and recognition of efforts

• Interim issue, because it fills in an area that is currently unsupported
