RWSL Distributed Network Scaling and Sustainability Model

 

 

Introduction

This document starts with the Definitions that the "How-to" Adoption Manual begins with and then proceeds with the scaling and sustainability model.  This Model has two major parts; the Network Scaling Model that explores ways that the NANSLO RDN can grow and serve more students, and the Sustainability Model that considers how the NANSLO RDN might be sustained over time.

 

Abstract

This is a word document that can be downloaded and disseminated through web-sites and sharing.  There is a downloadable copy here.

Conclusions

There is obviously more work required for this model, but until the NANSLO organization is in place, much of what will grow and sustain the NANSLO RDN through time is still conjecture and the NANSLO Board and NANSLO Coordinator, when this person is put in place, will need to adapt this model as situations become clearer.  I have tried to identify the various roles that will need to be played and I hope I have pointed the way toward a growing sustainable NANSLO RDN.
