Editor's Notes

  1. Not that many people know that United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights actually has language embedded within it concerning the importance of equal access to higher education (A26). You might think of those people around the world, in third world countries, them. But no we are also talking about here in this country, where people who do not have equal access to higher ed. And we are talking about an issue that is much broader than just textbooks. I am very pleased to be here and to have a chance to speak with you about issues that I think concern us all. When I think about the value and goals of higher education, I see a vehicle to unleash human potential, to help our students become both knowledgeable & skillful, to become good global and good local citizens. I see a vehicle that has the potential to deliver us from social inequality. However, I also see that far too often higher education is structured in a way that only serves to reinforce social inequality.
  2. This is from a study done for the US Department of Education. 2.4 million did not finish college because of cost in the first decade of this century.
  3. Compare the proportion of cost that students must contribute in 1989 to today.
  4. Graph of state where presentation is being made. Data can be found at http://www.sheeo.org.
  5. This shows the number of hours a student would need to work at minimum wage to afford one year of tuition at the University of Minnesota. 200-400 hours = a full time job in the summer. 2080 hours = full time job all year (40 hours x 52 weeks) – we’re getting close to this today
  6. About 2/3 of students borrow to get through school. These borrows graduate with an average debt of … Include institution’s data – can be found at http://ticas.org/posd/map-state-data-2015
  7. Consumer Revolving Credit = Credit Card Debt
  8. Admit that it’s not the highest cost leading to these affordability issues – but it is: the one cost that we as faculty can impact it has a special impact on the academic success of students (as we’ll see later)
  9. Admit that it’s not the highest cost leading to these affordability issues – but it is: the one cost that we as faculty can impact it has a special impact on the academic success of students (as we’ll see later)
  10. The cost of textbooks has risen 3-4x time the rate of inflation (CPI = Consumer Price Index (shows inflation))
  11. “[Textbook prices] have all been going up at a much faster rate than any other consumer product,” said Mark Perry, a finance and business economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint.
  12. To get the institution’s estimate – Google “[name of institution] cost of attendance” and find the “books and supplies” category.
  13. It’s important to have the voice of students in the room.
  14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d6HTN6llgo
  15. This section explores the ways students cope with the high costs and the academic risk, and the academic impact that those actions have.
  16. This student was asked to buy an $80 textbook, but found one that was 2 editions older for $8 on Amazon. This was his rationale, which seems pretty reasonable. However, he also said that he knew he was taking some academic risk.
  17. Students often need to wait 3 weeks until their financial aid payments arrive to purchase their textbooks. The same kind of delay also occurs for students who use the GI bill to fund their education.
  18. Another “voice of the student”
  19. At some point in their academic career, 70% of students have not purchased a required textbook because of cost.
  20. This slide is the key slide in making the point that cost is having an academic impact.
  21. Ask them if they’re depressed yet.  This is the end of defining the problem. I typically ask what would solve this problem – what would make all the percentages on slide 22 go to 0%? Eventuall, someone will say “free textbooks”. Ask the question “but how could a textbook be free? They typically cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to create.” Let’s look at a simplified explanation of the business model…
  22. Publishers invest in creating a textbook…
  23. …they recoup their investment (and make a profit) through sales of the books...
  24. …and have money to pay royalties to authors – typically 5% - 12%. So, if a book is free (there aren’t any sales), how could this possibly work?
  25. …and have money to pay royalties to authors – typically 5% - 12%. So, if a book is free (there aren’t any sales), how could this possibly work?
  26. Two other models…
  27. Model 1: Someone writes a book, usually for their own course, and puts it on the internet for others to use. This is not the most prevalent, nor is it where the activity is right now… Admit that these books might not be peer reviewed in the traditional sense.
  28. Model 2: The addition of a “funder”. The funder agrees to pay for production of the book, but with one stipulation: The book needs to be free forever. The publishing process could be exactly the same…
  29. …the author can even get paid.
  30. Where does this funding come from?
  31. Some example books from (1) Portland State University, and (2) SUNY – funded by the institutions
  32. OpenStax (Rice University) – funded by foundations
  33. CALI is funded by “just about every law school in the country” and they update these books annually. – funded by members.
  34. There’s just one thing missing… How does the end user – the faculty and students – know the intent of the funder and publisher? Can they just give these books away for free? What about copyright?
  35. There’s just one thing missing… How does the end user – the faculty and students – know the intent of the funder and publisher? Can they just give these books away for free? What about copyright?
  36. Acknowledge that copyright law is extremely important. Then note that it wasn’t intended to help people who want to share. So it isn’t sufficient in this case. We need …
  37. … the Creative Commons. The CC is a nonprofit that created licenses to help people who want to share intellectual proerty.
  38. So, the CC license is the last piece to this model. Now the end user knows what the intent of the funder/publisher is.
  39. Plus…
  40. The licenses allow for these things…
  41. …give a brief overview of the four license components.
  42. These are the 6 CC licenses. Maybe even quiz them on one or two... Note that these licenses are used in many places, but we often don’t notice...
  43. MIT Open Courseware This is a screenshot from an OCW page – there was a video above. Note the license. MIT wants you to use it, and here are their terms: (BY NC SA). Ask what that means.
  44. TED Talks: BY NC ND Ask what that means.
  45. So, that’s what a CC license is for… Don’t get too bogged down in scenarios of CC remixing, etc. Tell them that this is just an overview.
  46. This section is about credibility. The OTL is a collection of open textbooks to make it easy to find them, but we also are asking faculty to write reviews…

  53. So, an open textbook (possibly the first time the term “open textbook” is used) is a textbook with a CC license – it’s free and you can do all the things on slide 43. Here’s an example. Note the ancillary materials. Note that they shouldn’t assume that an open textbook doesn’t have them – some do and some don’t (just like commercial textbooks)
  54. 2. Statistics professors who teach a 1000 level stats course edited this open textbook to align with their Excel-based course. They edited each chapter to add examples, instructions, and also wrote ~1000 multiple choice questions.
  55. Here’s the new title page with the faculty listed as authors.
  56. Some examples of faculty who edited or remixed a textbook. 1. Math faculty who recorded simple videos explaining how to do the math problems and linked to the videos in the book. Students can watch the videos if they need help.
  57. Graduate students at BYU took an existing open textbook about project management, revised it to take out examples about international business, replaced them with examples from instructional design, replaced copyrighted imaged with openly licensed images, shot and embedded videos, and even created interactive, mastery-check assessments and embedded these within the book. Then released it as PM for IDs. Since then: alignment with the Project Management Professional certification exam; an expanded glossary; and downloadable HTML, PDF, ePub, MOBI, and MP3 versions of the book. All as course assignments, which shows you the potential for pedagogical innovation with open textbooks.
  58. This is what they can do…
  59. This is what they can do…
  60. To make it clear that they are eligible for the stipend only if they do both of these things. They can put a check next to #1…
  61. Here’s the review process. The due date – typically about 6 weeks after the workshop - should be discussed with your hosts before the workshop. Ask the faculty if the due date works for them. Note that the review will have it’s own open license so we can share their wisdom with other open textbook projects. Note that if you over-emphasize this, some people could get cold feet. Tell them that it’s not a big deal. 
