three arts faculties (at Brighton, Kirklees College and Herriot

funding. Stephen Mallinder, Sarah Atkinson and Debbie Flint will be
working at Brighton to try to find out about perceptions and
existing examples of open educational practice in the faculty and
to start thinking about how this could be developed further.

19. Time commitment Teachers sometimes not rewarded by the
system for their efforts Some projects require startup resources
Quality varies May not meet accessibility requirements for persons
with disabilities Need to check accuracy before use May need a high
degree of customisation (called localisation in the OER community)
Technical requirements vary and some require you to use a
particular software Requires varying degrees of continual financial
support Licensing and obtaining copyright clearance can be
difficult Some institutions may be concerned about giving it
away.http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=3636

sustainability
