    • Lecture 05 - Sustainability

      Almost every open education project "gets it wrong" from a sustainability standpoint. They begin by "targeting" the world as their user group and raising one-time money to support their efforts. When this money dries up, they are unable to roll the program over to core institutional funding as the program doesn't address any of the institution's core audiences.
