Plateau
• Staff together for 7 plus years• Collaboration had become functional,
instead of creative and innovative• Missing passion and inspiration
![Page 21: Using Open Educational Resources to Empower Collaborative Learning Communities](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546293a4af79594c1b8b513a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
