Presentation for Bridgewater State University
The document discusses the concept of "public" education and how it is changing in the digital age. It argues that with only 9% of funding coming from states at some public universities, their public nature is in question. It promotes open educational resources (OER), open pedagogy, and open access to research as ways to increase access to education, engage learners beyond the classroom, and maximize public impact of scholarship. The document advocates challenging barriers to access through open and critical approaches to increase the public benefits of higher education.

Editor's Notes
- #6 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?
- #12 Could be an OpenStax book or public docs or whatever
- #22 Rhizome slide
- #23 Gardner – personal cyberinfrastructure, tied to students not courses, lose the LMS Andrew- complexity of fac/student power Audrey- who is data for?
- #24 Not the LMS, not a template, control to the student
- #26 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?
