Increasingly seeing OER, related concepts and many other non-related concepts (e.g. open source LMS) as simply a series of fads that someone has thought was a good idea and convinced an organisation to adopt. The organisation does something, but is never embedded, never core and consequently when the problems overwhelm the benefits of "having the fad" the fad dies. Changing conceptions and practices of the people and the system is necessary. Agree 100%.
