Hi Josh,
I haven’t had that experience to the best of my knowledge. But I do delete solicitous-looking email without reading them. It’s worth investigating. I’ll see what I can find out. It would be a shame if OpenStax sells their contacts to commercial vendors.
Are you on the CCCOER list? It’s a community college OER listserv and I imagine…[Read more]

Dear Group:
Okay, I’m confused.
Through my work with OpenStax I started receiving e-mail solicitations for homework management products that charge a student fee.
I cannot figure out how this corresponds to an Open Access philosophy. It is certainly not in the zero-cost framework that I am trying to implement, but I”m concerned that there is…[Read more]

Okay. I tried to edit the paper but found I was unable to for some reason. I added a comment instead.

I made a paper where we can track some of this here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/papers/open-textbooks-at-laguardia-2/
I’m not sure it’s kept anywhere centrally, but I agree that it would be helpful information to have!

In Fall II, the Natural Sciences Department piloted use of the Astronomy text from OpenStax. I wrote a review of the text and we’re trying to decide whether to implement it or not (there are…[Read more]

Great point, Steve! The inter relatedness of factors like broadband access, OER, publishers, public policy, etc. is ignored by Downes and Wiley in order to perpetuate their argument. After the first couple posts I got tired of their debate. They have some fundamental differences that they’ll never agree on. However, their visions for OER aren’t…[Read more]
