Legal and technical interoperability… What do we  know ? What do we  want ? What do we  need ? Why ?
Some useful distinctions… Objective attributes vs subjective (even if validated) qualities. Enabling what we  want  vs disabling what we  dislike . OER are composites – what is fundamental to their function and what is essentially habit?

Some things to think about… Closing the loop – how do we incorporate data from usage into the improvement cycle? Student privacy issues Tying things together K12 vs higher ed What, if any, are the meaningful distinctions? Training and digital literacy What pedagogies depend on (or benefit from) openness? What recognition processes can support their use?
Digital vs analog objects. Lingo challenges – free, online, digital, e-learning, distance learning, etc. How tightly tied are OER to new technologies? How tightly tied should they be? What are our expectations, especially re: re-use and adaptation? Others? Some things to think about…
