This is a wordy paper that lacks cohesion but it underlines the need for policy development around open educational practices and it makes the good point that "OE does not occur in a vacuum; ergo, policies aimed at fostering sustainable growth of OEP must acknowledge that such practices sit within a wider landscape of social, economic and educational ecosystems." The context of the post is a series of policy-development workshops framed by three issues: "use of data in education and educational policy; IP licensing, copyright and copyright reform; and unbundling and open learning accreditation." It would have been better to see the paper focus less on the background and more on the actual results of the workshops themselves.
