http://net.educause.edu/eliweb119 (recording here too - though I'm not sure if Educause requires you be an ELI member to see it - I think it will be open - hope so :) Join Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative director, and Veronica Diaz, ELI associate director, as they moderate this webinar with Cable Green, PhD, Director of Global Learning, Creative Commons. Cable Green, Director of Global Learning @ Creative Commons, will discuss how, if we are smart, we will use today's technical and legal tools to build and share high quality, affordable educational resources with everyone who wants to learn. The combined forces of digital content, the Internet and the effect of Moore's law push the cost of storing, replicating and distributing educational materials, once created, to near zero. Open licensing allows this content to be reused, revised, remixed and redistributed so others may localize, customize, translate, and (most important) collect and share open data on the effectiveness of the educational resources to continuously improve their quality. Cable will also discuss how open policies, once adopted, make sustainability a non-issue and ensure publicly funded educational resources are open educational resources.

1. HowDigital Technologies & Open Educational Resources areDisrupting Higher Education

2. The “Iron Triangle” suggests institutions are constrained in their ability to adapt “In the view of many college and university presidents, the three main factors in higher education—cost, quality, and access—exist in what we call an iron triangle. These factors are linked in an unbreakable reciprocal relationship, such that any change in one will inevitably impact the others.” - Public Agenda research on opinions of higher education presidents Source: The Iron Triangle: College Presidents Talk About Costs, Access, and Quality, Public Agenda, October 2008. Source: The Iron Triangle: College Presidents Talk About Costs, Access, and Quality, Public Agenda, October 2008.

3. The Iron Triangle Three concepts dominate the concerns presidents: increasing cost of higher education challenge of providing access need to maintain and improve educational quality Three missions in tension: Access up = quality down and/or costs up Quality up = access down and/or costs up Costs down = quality down and/or access down

4. Rivalrous vs. Non-Rivalrous Resources Vs. Affordances of Digital Things

5. How do we currentlyattempt to harness digital networked technologies?

6. Shifting our Thinking… Old: “Distance Education” as delivery mechanism. New: eLearning as learning effectiveness strategy.

7. SLOAN-C Online Stats Almost 2/3 of for-profit institutions now say that online learning is a critical part of their long term strategy. The 21% growth rate for online enrollments far exceeds the 2% growth in the overall higher education student population. Nearly 1/2of institutions report that the economic downturn has increased demand for face-to-face courses and programs. 3/4of institutions report that the economic downturn has increased demand for online courses and programs.

21. DOE: Definition of OER Open educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and repurposingby others.

22. Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning and research materials that are freely available under an open license that allows them to be: Reused– you can reuse the content in its unaltered / verbatim form Revised– you can adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself Remixed– you can combine the original or revised content with other content to create something new Redistributed– you can make and share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others

23. Why is “Open” Important? 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.

46. English Composition I 50,000+ enrollments / year x $100 textbook = $5+ Million every year

47. …the current Higher Education textbook market is estimated at $8.2 billion, and is expected to reach in excess of $9 billion by 2014. Total market size based on Eduventures Textbook Market Study and the National Association of College Stores, 2009.

48. The Old Economics Print, warehouse, and ship a new book for every student = Rivalrous

49. The New Economics Upload one copy, and everyone uses it simultaneously Making copies, storage, distribution of digital stuff = “Free” = Non-Rivalrous

50. Legislative Strategy Textbook RFP? Higher Education Textbooks for top 100 highest enrolled courses K-12 Textbooks for 24 “Common Core” courses

51. Open Education Open Course Library designing and sharing 81 high enrollment, gatekeeper courses for face-to-face, hybrid and/or online delivery to improve course completion rates lower textbook costs for students (<$30) provide new resources for faculty to use in their courses for our college system to fully engage the global open educational resources discussion.

52. 81 courses = 411,133 enrollments / year 411,133 enrollments x $100 textbook = $41M+ in textbook costs / student debt per year Limit on textbook costs in redesigned courses is $30. If courses are adopted by 25% of the sections in the system (faculty decision), the savings to students will be $7.2M per year. Savings increase with increased adoptions and/or when courses use free, open textbooks. Open Education

53. New State Board “Open” Policy Open Policy All digital software, educational resources and knowledge produced through competitive grants, offered through and/or managed by the SBCTC, will carry a Creative Commons Attribution License.

54. Legislative Strategy Partner with Legislators who care about: (a) efficient use of state tax dollars &(b) saving students money.

55. WA Legislation SSHB1025 Faculty consider the least costly practices in assigning course materials, such as adopting the least expensive edition available, adopting free, open textbooks when available, and working with college librarians to put together collections of free online web and library resources, when educational content is comparable as determined by the faculty…

56. WA Legislation SSHB1946 – two big ideas – share technology and share content. (v) Methods and open licensing options for effectively sharing digital content including but not limited to: Open courseware, open textbooks, open journals, and open learning objects…

57. Student Advocacy WA CTC Student Voice Academy (1) CUTTING TEXTBOOK COSTS “The high cost of textbooks is a burden to students….” Top Issue three years running….

58. Hey Public K-20 Education! We must get rid of our “not invented here” attitude regarding others’ content move to: "proudly borrowed from there" Which textbook one uses is not a strategic advantage Nor can we (or our students) afford it

62. Harder to catch-up or even understand Google, Amazon, Open Source, Open Content, Open Textbooks… Functional Possibilities Higher Education Time

63. NEW HE Models are En Route

64. Questions What if all publicly funded educational content was open access? What kind of efficiencies could higher education yield? Simple idea: public access to publicly funded educational materials.

65. Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grants Program $2 Billion Department of Labor Grant All $2B of programs / courses produced must be openly licensed (CC BY) YOUR Systems / Colleges can download, modify and use any of it! Simple idea: public access to publicly funded educational materials.

67. Only ONE thing Matters: Efficient use of public funds to increase student success and access to quality educational materials. Everything else (including all existing business models) is secondary. Read: “Disrupting College…”

68. Punch Line? We can break the “Iron Triangle” IF we: Ask “what is best for students” Drop old business models Openly license and share our educational and scientific resources Get humble, recognize common need, and use each others’ works $1.5B+ en route
