Talk:The Open Educational Resources movement

Karen,

The major area where I see that you might want to add content to your presentation, is in the cost-benefit / ROI area.

For example, the benefit of collaborative authoring can significantly reduce production costs (i.e., dollar savings) for an individual, a group of individuals or even an institution. When used for more than one course in course development, this could amount to a significant savings - which could have quite dramatic implications for publicly-financed (or, otherly financed) educational institutions. If institutions were able to save this money and deploy it elsewhere, in areas such as learner-support, quality, etc., everyone could win.
