“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 158 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025. Accommodating the additional 105 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years.”

When the Marginal Cost of Sharing is $0… • Educators have an ethical obligation to share:
• Governments need to get maximum ROI by requiring publicly funded resources be openly licensed resources.
• Governments and educators need openly licensed content: (a) so you can revise and remix (b) buying and maintaining is cheaper than leasing (w/time bombs).

There is a direct relationship between textbook costs and student success
60%+ do not purchase textbooks at some point due to cost
35% take fewer courses due to textbook cost
31% choose not to register for a course due to textbook cost
23% regularly go without textbooks due to cost
14% have dropped a course due to textbook cost
10% have withdrawn from a course due to textbook cost

Why is “Open” Important?
Cooperate and share = We all Win
Faculty have new choices when building learning spaces.
…the more eyes on a problem, the greater chance for a solution.
Affordability: students can’t afford textbooks.
Self-interest: good things happen when I share.
It’s a social justice issue: everyone should have the right to access digital knowledge.

“We will cultivate the culture and practice of using and contributing to open educational resources.”
wcet.wiche.edu
But using open educational resources – and contributing to them –
requires significant change in the culture of higher education. It
requires thinking about content as a common resource that raises all
boats when shared. (p.11)

Does it make any sense WA State and K-12 Districts together spend $130M/year on textbooks and the results are:
• Books are (on average) 7-10 years out of date. • Paper only / no digital versions. • Students can’t write / highlight in books. • Students can’t keep books at end of year. • All rights reserved… teachers can’t update.

U.S. House Appropriations Committee draft FY2012 Labor, Health and Human Services funding bill
SEC. 124. None of the funds made available by this Act for the Department of Labor may be used to develop new courses, modules, learning materials, or projects in carrying out education or career job training grant programs unless the Secretary of Labor certifies, after a comprehensive market-based analysis, that such courses, modules, learning materials, or projects are not otherwise available for purchase or licensing in the marketplace or under development for students who require them to participate in such education or career job training grant programs.

But even better, the bill sponsor said:
"As the costs of publishing continue to be driven down by new technology, we will continue to see a growth in open access publishers.
This new and innovative model appears to be the wave of the future. The transition must be collaborative, and must respect copyright law and the principles of open access.
