California Open Source Textbook Project (COSTP)5/1/2001A public/private not-for-profit venture whose original emphasis was using open licensing to eliminate K12 textbook shortages in California - eventually eliminating the high cost of textbooks in the K20 sector. COSTP was a primary contributor and information agent for many organizations in the early stages of the OER movement. COSTP has since evolved to a K20 education consultancy focused on public/private efforts to use open licensing, digital innovation, and distributed Internet and cross-platform technologies to increase educational access, decrease educational cost, and vastly increase educational outcomes in the K20, worldwide. http://www.opensourcetext.org

Giving Knowledge for Free: The Emergence of Open Educational Resources5/22/2007Learning resources are often considered key intellectual property in a competitive higher education world. However, more and more institutions and individuals are sharing their digital learning resources over the Internet, openly and for free, as Open Educational Resources (OER). This study, building on previous OECD work on e-learning, asks why this is happening, who is involved and what the most important implications of this development are. The report offers a comprehensive overview of the rapidly changing phenomenon of Open Educational Resources and the challenges it poses for higher education. It examines reasons for individuals and institutions to share resources for free, and looks at copyright issues, sustainability and business models as well as policy implications. It will be of particular interest to those involved in e-learning or strategic decision making within higher education, to researchers and to students of new technologies.http://www.oecd.org/edu/ceri/givingknowledgeforfreetheemergenceofopeneducationalresources.htmhttp://www.oecd.org/edu/ceri/38654317.pdf

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited Ostrom "for her analysis of economic governance," saying her work had demonstrated how common property could be successfully managed by groups using it. Ostrom and Oliver E.

JISC launches major funding for OER projects in the UK.4/1/2009Between April 2009 and September 2012, JISC and the Higher Education Academy supported pilot projects and activities around the open release of learning resources; for free use and repurposing worldwide. Projects were asked to make a significant amount of existing learning resources freely available online, licensed in such away to enable them to be used and repurposed worldwide.It was expected that funded projects would demonstrate a long term commitment to the release of open educational resources (OER). Projects worked towards the sustainability of long term open resources release via the adoption of appropriate business models to support this. Supporting actions included modifications to institutional policies and processes, with the aim of making open resources release an expected part of the educational resources creation cycle. As a part of this programme, support and advice on all aspects of open educational resource release were offered. This included guidance and advice from existing JISC services and other organisations and covered issues around licensing, intellectual property rights, technical aspects such as the use of standards and metadata, and resource discovery.http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning/oer.aspxopeneducation, openUK
