and re-purposing for local learning contexts. Conceptually, the key initiatives of the logic model are grouped into three main categories with distinctive strategies for achieving financial sustainability of the OER ecosystem.

OER networked collaboration	The grouping of initiatives where collaboration is a prerequisite for scalable and cost-effective implementation. These services are provided and funded through networked collaboration among a consortium of participating post-secondary institutions.
Educational institution services	The grouping of initiatives, which are provided by registered education institutions in the formal education sector. Funded on fee-for-service (cost-recovery basis) and/or subsidised by government grants.
OER support infrastructure	Refers to the support infrastructure including open source software ICT infrastructure and sustainable business models. Institution specific services services are provided on a cost-recovery basis; and Shared infrastructure services are funded through OER consortium collaboration.

The initiatives for each category are summarized in the following table:

OER networked collaboration
Open curriculum^[1]	Curriculum is based solely on OER. Select courses from the "smorgasbord" of existing open resources and fill gaps where no OER exist. Prioritise credentials which will be accredited, by participating institutions including the processes for learners to configure open learning programs.
Open design and development^[2]	Recognise the unique requirements of independent study and asynchronous learning systems. Design and implement dynamic processes for collaborative development of an open pedagogy which will scale for large numbers of OER learners.
Open pedagogy^[3]	Incorporate learning literacies for a digital age. Teaching focused on the pedagogy of discovery.

↑ Critical path priority. OER university selects the first credential(s) to be offered.
↑ Solid experiential base on the team approach for design of ODL. However, new design approaches needed for crossinstitutional collaboration and the dynamic web.
↑ Solid scholarship on digital literacies and early prototypes levearging the pedagogy of discovery and social media.
