This document discusses MOOCs and their relationship to open education resources and video/text. It notes that most MOOCs currently have limited technical connections between video and text, and no connection to OER. The Hybrid Publishing Consortium aims to establish these connections and enable multi-format text publishing for MOOCs through projects like MyCoreReader, which would provide rich media course readers. The document provides background on the consortium's goals and projects around open access, online education, and hybrid publishing tools.

3. Schumpeter’s Gale + Packet Networks
«The opening up of new markets, foreign or domestic, and the organizational
development from the craft shop to such concerns as U.S. Steel illustrate the
same process of industrial mutation—if I may use that biological term—that
incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly
destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one. This process of Creative
Destruction is the essential fact about capitalism»
Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, (Joseph Schumpeter,1942)

9. FLOSS MOOC Survey

10. FLOSS MOOC Survey
• Limited to non existent technical connection of video and text
• Programmatic learning environments
• No connection to OER
• Limited multi-format text capabilities
• Worrying trends to the invasion of privacy and student monitoring,
performance driven by business models

11. HPC ‘s Interest in MOOCS
• Establish pathways to connect OA to OER and MOOCs
• Automatic publishing to MOOCs
• Connect video and text on a granular level
• Enable multi-format text publishing for MOOCs
• Our projects would be rich media/transmedia course readers - MyCoreReader
