This document discusses open business models in the publishing industry. It describes how distribution of physical goods like books, music, and videos has come under threat from digital distribution. Industries like music, video, and newspapers have been "disrupted." The traditional academic publishing and textbook industry is also facing disruption from open educational resources and open textbooks. Models discussed include open licensing of content, collaborative authoring platforms like Curriki, and the "Flatworld Knowledge" model of offering open textbooks and optional study aids to generate revenue.
e-Texts: Flatworld Pros and Cons
The document discusses the pros and cons of e-texts, known as Flatworld textbooks. It notes that traditional textbooks are very expensive, with example prices ranging from $155 to $205. Flatworld textbooks offer digital textbooks for free or at a low cost bulk rate of $20 per student per course. This allows access to digital textbooks on the web as well as study aids. The document provides an example of one university that saved an estimated $135,000 in textbook costs by using Flatworld textbooks. It also notes high adoption rates of Flatworld textbooks by students over the course of a semester.
Textbook Affordability
Textbook prices have risen more than twice the rate of inflation for the past 25 years, and now cost the average student $900 per year. Publishers continue to exacerbate the problem by pumping out new editions every few years and packaging books with costly extras like CDs and passcodes. Students, instructors, colleges and parents share frustration with the high cost of textbooks, but what can be done?
This webinar will present information about a forthcoming solution to the textbook affordability crisis: open textbooks. These books are similar to traditional texts, except that they are offered free online and sold for lower prices in print. If open textbooks gain traction in the marketplace, they could drive textbook costs down for good.
Come learn from these speakers, who provide a variety of perspectives on textbook affordability and open textbooks as a solution:
• Nicole Allen, a consumer advocate from the Student Public Interest Research Groups and director of Make Textbooks Affordable.
• Levi Menovske, a junior at UC-Davis and leader of the student open textbooks campaign in California.
• Eric Frank, co-founder of an open textbook publishing company and veteran of the traditional publishing industry.
• Joining this group will be a professor and a student to share their experiences with using an open textbook in a college course.
• Introduction by Dr. Cable Green from the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
