- 22. State of Washington The Open Course Library has saved students $5.5 million in textbook costs to date, including $2.9 million during the 2012-2013 academic year alone.”
- 23. Tidewater Community College “For students who pursue the new “textbook-free” degree, the total cost for required textbooks will be zero. Instead, the program will use high quality open textbooks and other open educational resources, known as OER, which are freely accessible, openly licensed materials useful for teaching, learning, assessment and research. It is estimated that a TCC student who completes the degree through the textbook-free initiative might save one-third on the cost of college.” http://www.tcc.edu/news/press/2013/TextbookFreeDegree.htm

What makes a resource open? • David Wiley's 5Rs: • Retain - the right to make, own, and control copies of the content (e.g., download, duplicate, store, and manage) • Reuse - the right to use the content in a wide range of ways (e.g., in a class, in a study group, on a website, in a video) • Revise - the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself (e.g., translate the content into another language) • Remix - the right to combine the original or revised content with other open content to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup) • Redistribute - the right to share copies of the original content, your revisions, or your remixes with others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend)

- 46. 46 “As these online course products have improved, more and more schools have plugged them into their curricula. The result is a creeping homogenization of basic classes throughout many U.S. universities. That’s raising some uncomfortable questions, starting with: Why should I pick one school over another if they offer the exact same classes? And: Why are universities buying ready-made frozen meals instead of cooking up their own educational fare?” - Kahn, 2014. College in a Box: Textbook giants are now teaching classes.
