    1. Competing demands on time and resources to maintain OERu project momentum.
    2. Lack of exemplars of OERu courses which demonstrate the end-to-end process from course nomination, through to design, delivery and awarding of credit.
    3. Varying levels of expertise and experience in OER, cooperative design models and designing materials for mobile devices.
