it goes and gets messy again.
Although we have initially been given clearance (albeit verbal and informal) to use a myriad of materials/RLOs from various sources, it appears that when faced with a license agreement to sign, ‘rights holders’ (loosely termed) start to panic. More often than not, the people we are contacting don’t actually know what rights are attached to certain materials, and exactly who is responsible for signing any such agreement.
So, whilst we are still confident on getting formal approval, it looks like I will be chasing a few more people (whilst waving a license agreement form) 
Despite the frustrations, the processes we are going through are invaluable, and if e-Learning Reuse, or Sustainable e-Learning (as some commentators like to call it) is the future of learning and teaching, then we will hopefully be well placed to move forward throughout the institution and across the wider HE sector.
