8. Online Curriculum Companies Upload one copy Charge per student Lease access – don’t sell!

9. Like Printing Money! Create once, sell millions of times

10. “ First Rule of Govt Spending” Why have one when you can have 300,000 for 300,000 times the price?

11. Can Government Understand? Companies leverage new economics -can state governments do the same?

12. Open High School of Utah Virtual charter (public) school Committed by charter to OER exclusively First students in Fall 2009

13. Open Means Complete Autonomy “ Open Curriculum” means local teachers can change, substitute, adapt, and improve for their students

14. Open Does Not Mean Quality Tearing the copyright page out of the front of a book does not increase its quality

15. Open Can Lead to Better Quality Online environment captures every click and assessment outcome; data-driven feedback loops mean higher quality
