- Education required for some government departments who are not "on board" with the affordances of ICT enabled education
- Disaggregation of the teaching service chain
- "Joining up" the tertiary system in New Zealand so, for example, MOE, TEC, NZQA etc. Do it once and do it well. Pay once and use many times.
- Incentivising or opening of collaboration in student learning support systems.
- Simultaneous institutional enrolment for learners
- Getting consensus or at least a critical mass. There are strong opinions on either side, especially given governments push to increase revenue.
Assessment, accreditation and qualifications
- NCEA assessment recognising student contribution to OER as evidence of learning (Individual and collaborative)
- Recognition of personalised qualifications
- Portability of qualifications limited under the current institutional and certification policy.
- Clear development of credentialing-only models / policies for institutes.
- Maintaining standards of education. "What defines good education?" ; "What is a meaningful qualification?"
- Support from elite institutions worldwide
- Does "quality" become still more subjective in an open programme model?
