✒️ Application Activity

As a project lead, you manage content and steward systems. Sustaining an OER resource over time means embedding maintenance, feedback, transparency, and accountability into how your team or institution operates. For this discussion, reflect on your current or past experience with OER development or adoption:

In 300–400 words, respond to the following:

Choose one of the core systems described in this lesson: maintenance cycles, version control, feedback integration, or reporting.
Reflect on how that system currently operates (or doesn’t) in your context, whether in your department, project, or campus-wide effort.
Share a specific challenge or missed opportunity that resulted from a lack of structure in that area.
Outline a practical step you could take in the next three months to build or strengthen that system. Who would need to be involved?

You may include insights from the tools provided in this lesson or your own experiences. This prompt is meant to help you apply the stewardship mindset to real systems work, because sustainability is something we build, not inherit.
