[Oer-community] A reflection

[Ann MacCann]

I was part of a project in Australia some time ago,where distance institutions agreed to a shared development of courses, leading to less expenditure by each on developing similar courses. So shared development is part of the critical task of collaboration. 

We were fortunate to have the same national curriculum, which could be one stumbling block, but a global map with linked database information would certainly make the collaboration more effective.
