What Do We Mean By "Open"? - 0 views

  • I wonder about some of the recent MOOCs this way, for example. Sure, anyone can sign up so they're "open" in that sense. But the materials themselves often aren't openly licensed.
  •  
    The adjective "open" ostensibly makes educational resources more easily accessible. But "open" can mean a lot of things: resources that are free; research that is publicly available on the Web and indexed by search engines; courses that offer open enrollment; materials that are openly licensed; content and code that can be copied and modified and redistributed. "Open" can mean "transparent." Open versus proprietary. Open versus closed.

Can MOOC's Help Sell Textbooks? - Technology - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • Publishers have begun to investigate whether so-called MOOC's, or massive open online courses, can help them reach new readers and sell more books.
  • But online courses do have recommended-reading lists, and enrollments in the tens of thousands. If even a small percentage of those online students buy books, the sales could add up to a nice boost for a textbook.
  •  
    Colleges aren't the only enterprises interested in the possibilities of free, online courses. Publishers have begun to investigate whether so-called MOOC's, or massive open online courses, can help them reach new readers and sell more books.
