This document discusses the concept of "public" higher education and how open education practices can help strengthen it. It argues that open educational resources (OER) can increase access to education by reducing textbook costs. Open pedagogy treats education as learner-driven and emphasizes community collaboration over content. Open access to research helps fulfill universities' public mission by maximizing their impact. Overall, the document advocates for open practices in education and research as a way to put the "public" back into public higher education.

Editor's Notes
- Competencies set by companies who need workers, works for companies, not workers What does it look like if the education dollars don’t flow through the private economy?
- Could be an OpenStax book or public docs or whatever
- Until 1900 human knowledge doubled approximately every century. By the end of World War II knowledge was doubling every 25 years. But now the average is that human knowledge is doubling every 13 months. According to IBM, the build out of the “internet of things” will lead to the doubling of knowledge every 12 hours.
- Gardner – personal cyberinfrastructure, tied to students not courses, lose the LMS Andrew- complexity of fac/student power Audrey- who is data for?
- So we save students money while increasing access and value; So we transform our teaching using a critical, open pedagogy; Now what does this mean to us as SCHOLARS?
