I recently had the honor of traveling to the MIT campus in Boston and participating in a panel discussion on Open Education Resources (OER) at The Sixth Conference of MIT''s Learning International Networks Consortium (LINC) with three illustrious advocates of these open resources: Nicole Allen, Philipp Schmidt, and panel moderator Steve Carson.
For the first decade of the modern open education movement (1998 – 2007), the distinguishing feature of our work – the thing we cared most about and talked most about – was the open licensing we applied to educational materials. Other schools have OER policies and OER degree programs. grey below). green below).
As countless educators around the world have scrambled to figure out how to deliver lessons remotely with whisker-thin budgets, many turned to open education resources (OER). Khosla is the founder and CEO of CK-12 , the 30-person nonprofit that she started in 2007 to deliver free digital books, particularly on math and science topics.
Today I’m going to focus on ISKME and OER Commons. From their website: ISKME’s OER initiatives aim to grow a sustainable culture of sharing and continuous improvement among educators at all levels. In addition to their widely used OER search and discovery service, ISKME provides a range of other services.
Many institutions charge students a fee associated with their OER courses as a way of funding the institutions’ OER efforts. For example, Kansas State University’s Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative course fee is a $10 fee that is payed by students in courses that use OER and other free, traditionally copyrighted resources.
Flat World Knowledge began publishing “open textbooks” in 2007, and Connexions at Rice changed their name to OpenStax and started publishing open textbooks in 2012. Of course innovation with OER didn’t actually stop with openly licensed traditional textbooks. And that’s essentially where innovation stopped.
That figure includes texts procured legally, like open educational resources (known as OER), and illegally, such as pirated files shared through torrent websites. The decrease follows a trend of near-steady spending decline going back at least 10 years to 2007-2008, when students reported spending an average of $701 on course materials.
Five years ago, in an essay called “ 2017: RIP OER? ” I pondered whether this year would be the end of OER. There’s certainly no one funding next gen OER. Much has been written about 2012 being “the year of OER.” Let’s hope it’s not the year OER peaks. These publisher platforms can have real benefits.

In 2007, Thomson’s higher-ed publishing division was acquired for $7.75 Based on publishers’ recent earnings reports, Hill says he anticipates further “reduction in annual revenues as the market shifts to digital, and as we see the full impact of OER, inclusive access and new business models take effect.” Estimated revenue for the U.S.
And of course there are other vendors, like Elsevier and Wiley (like Jones Soda and RC) and openly-licensed resources known as OER, or open education resources (which are something like a Sodastream homebrew). If you make it too expensive, colleges are going to look harder at OER,” she said.
The State appropriations per full-time student have fallen from an inflation-adjusted $8,489 in 2007 to $7,642 in 2017. If educational institutes start adopting OERs in classrooms, students will be able to save a lot of money that would otherwise be spent on purchasing textbooks and rental subscriptions. These are basically free.
It was 2007, and Larsen was teaching a physical chemistry for life sciences course at the University of California at Davis. But at UC Davis, “administrators could do a lot more in order to facilitate the adoption of OER projects,” Larsen says. The textbook that Delmar Larsen assigned his students was full of errors, and he knew it.
In addition to the sets directly relating to theme or time period are primary source sets connected to popularly studied literary titles, like Sherman Alexie’s 2007 award-winning, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. But DPLA’s Primary Source Sets make even deeper interdisciplinary connections.
