With the emergence of disruptive new business models, higher education publishing is in a state of tremendous flux. The rise of high quality, peer-reviewed open textbooks challenges the current status quo and the traditional model of overpriced, inflexible and too-often revised textbooks. Eric Frank will discuss:
- Why Higher Education Publishing is failing to meet the needs of today's students, faculty, authors and institutions
- Emerging new textbooks based on openly licensed content
- Challenges and opportunities to building a sustainable new model of textbooks based on the economics of free.
