Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million 2 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. 1 ISCED levels 5 & 6 UNESCO Institute of Statistics figures 2 British Council and IDP Australia projections By: COL http://www.col.org/SiteCollectionDocument s/JohnDaniel_2008_3x5.jpg

33. 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)

36. 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

37. CC-BY licensed textbooks for 90 university courses

38. $500 million - Wave 2 ($2 billion over four years)

39. Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.

40. 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?

41. Building Effective Teams & Shifting the Culture to Open as Default

42. http://techplan.sbctc.edu “We will cultivate the culture and practice of using and contributing to open educational resources.”

43. 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)

45. English Composition I 55,000+ enrollments / year x $175 textbook = $9.6 + Million every year

47. 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State and K-12 Districts together spend $130M/year on textbooks and the results are: Books are (on average) 7-10 years out of date Paper only / no digital versions.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

54. 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.
