“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.

Online, on demand access to one textbook (~$19/month) costs more than online, on demand access to every major movie, TV show, and song produced in the US in recent memory ($7.99 + $9.99 = $17.98/month).
One textbook costs more than the entire output of the film, television, and music industries combined.

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 & remix (b) buying and maintaining is cheaper than leasing (w/time bombs)

Partner with Legislators who care about:
(a) efficient use of national / state tax dollars;
(b) saving students money; increasing access to
publicly funded research and data;
(c) increasing access to education
“By developing this library of openly licensed courseware and making it available to school districts free of charge, the state and school districts will be able to provide students with curricula and texts while substantially reducing the expenses that districts would otherwise incur in purchasing these materials. In addition, this library of openly licensed courseware will provide districts and students with a broader selection of materials, and materials that are more up-to-date.”
CC-BY licensed textbooks for 90 university courses
$500 million - Wave 2($2 billion over four years)
Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.
• Cooperate & 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.
Why is “Open” Important?
Building Effective Teams & Shifting the
Culture to Open as Default
http://techplan.sbctc.edu
“We will cultivate the culture and practice of using and contributing to open educational resources.”
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/yearon 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

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.
• The American people deserve to have access to research for which they have paid.

• Efficient use of public funds to increase student success and access to quality educational materials.
• Everything else (including all existing business models) is secondary.
Only ONE thing Matters:
What can your District do?
Adopt one Open Textbook.
