A Cost Analysis of the Open Course Library - 0 views
-
In October 2011, the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges launched the Open Course Library, a collection of high-quality, low-cost educational materials to correspond with the 81 largest-enrollment courses in the state. The first 42 courses are available immediately, and the remaining 39 are slated for development in 2012 and release in 2013. In conjunction with the release of the first 42 courses, the Student PIRGs conducted this informal study to evaluate just how much the Open Course Library could reduce costs for students. Based on a survey of 22 of the program's 42 course authors, all of whom had agreed to adopt the materials in their own teaching, we have preliminary estimates for the impact of these courses.
US perceptions of the e-text landscape: part 3 - 0 views
-
"While eTextbook use is increasingly common, the reasons appear logistical (lower cost and convenience) rather than for pedagogical. The pedagogical side cannot be ignored. Publishers and providers of digital content need to increase the interactivity of the content in order to go beyond simple digital facsimiles of print versions. Additionally, instructors need to select eTextbooks with high quality features, as well as model the use of the eTextbook to show how to read and study effectively from the digital resource."

How much Kno sold for & why it failed - Tech News and Analysis - 0 views
-
"Kno, in many ways is a case study in Silicon Valley hubris, where white-boarding and theoretical thinking doesn't always match up with the reality of the real world. A book publishing industry insider pointed out that Kno was trying to solve a problem that wasn't acute enough for the publishers and the end customers - students. It was a problem Kno wanted to solve for Kno."
Origins of Game Theory - 0 views

"Mathematicians attempt to analyze types of interactions by treating them as games in which players use strategies to obtain payoffs. Games like checkers and chess are games of perfect information; the board shows both players all the information needed to make the right decision. Games like poker are games of imperfect information; no player has enough information (the other players' cards are hidden) to make a guaranteed right decision."
The Rise of Externally-Sourced Instructional Media - 0 views
-
"teaching a course using someone else's instructional media is out of alignment with the occupational model. Taken to its extreme, it reduces the academic to the status of a "mere teacher"; no longer an "expert", and nothing grander than a K12 teacher. This is not a status or identity to which most traditional academics aspire."
GOING DIGITAL: Faculty Pespectives on Digital and OER Course Materials - 0 views
-
"Although the movement in course materials in colleges and universities is clearly from print towards digital, the survey data suggest it will be a slow process. Asked when they thought the majority of their course materials would be primarily digital, fully a fourth of the surveyed faculty indicated "never," while another 9 percent said by fall 2022, and 17 percent indicated by fall 2020. In contrast, fully a sixth (16 percent) reported that majority of their current course materials were digital as of fall 2015, and a third (34 percent) anticipated primarily digital course materials by fall 2018.
