Open education
"...is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that
technology in general and the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and
reuse knowledge."
—The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation 12

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.”

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

BEWARE: OPENWASHING

not only institutions, but students as well.”

What makes a resource open?• David Wiley's 4Rs:• Reuse: the right to reuse the content in its
unaltered/verbatim form (e.g., make a backup copy of the content)
• 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 content to create something new (e.g., incorporate the content into a mashup)
• Redistribute: the right to share copies of the original content, the revisions, or the remixes with others (e.g., give a copy of the content to a friend)
