Why Open Educational Resources (OER)?
In a recent presentation of David Wiley he lists 7 arguments why you should do OER:
- Education is Sharing (the technical argument)
- Buy One, Get One (the political argument)
- The Paradox of Free (the financial argument, part 1)
- The $5 Textbook (the financial argument, part 2)
- Continuous Improvement (the quality argument)
- Content is Infrastructure (the innovation argument)
- Do the Right Thing (the moral argument)
In his slides I goes into more detail of each argument. Some nice quotes from his slide:
- "If there is no sharing, there is no education"
- "knowledge is magical, it can be given without being given away"
- "publishers make 2% of the investment of a research article, then take copyright and charge you for access"
- "All taxpayer-funded educational resources should be OER"
Below I have embedded the slide deck of David:

De presentatie van Wiley is van oktober 2010, staat er in de eigenschappen van de .pptx. Dat is niet recent. En hij is niet de auteur, dat is Brandon Muramatsu. Beetje flauw van me om dat op te merken, en ik moet de inhoud van de presentatie nog bekijken, die is vast interessant, maar hoe zit dat met die twee onderwerpen?

Hij heeft de presentatie vorige week geupload naar Slideshare. En blijkbaar heeft hij een oude presentatie hergebruikt en de properties niet aangepast. Dan doen de meeste mensen niet.
