Hi Dorothy:

The following resources might be useful:

• http://thepowerofopen.org/
  
  
• http://edtechfrontier.com/2012/03/04/the-economics-of-open/
  
• Business case for OER:
• increase access to education
• provide students with an opportunity to assess and plan their education choices
• showcase an institution’s intellectual outputs, promote it’s profile, and attract students
• convert students exploring options into fee paying enrollments
• accelerate learning by providing educational resources for just-in-time, direct, informal use by both students and self-directed learners
• add value to knowledge production
• reduce faculty preparation time
• generate cost savings – (this case has been particularly substantiated for open textbooks)
• enhance quality
• generate innovation through collaboration

Dear all, I will be speaking to writers and publishers on OER shortly, obviously they have some qualms about OER and their future business. I would be most grateful if you could point me in the direction of any resources which address these concerns.
