Open education and open educational resources (OER) continue to explode. OpenCourseWare (OCW) from MIT is well known but just a small percent of all the course material now available for free. I talk about all of this in my upcoming World is Open book; especially in Chapters 4-6. But why would instructors or institutions offer their course content online? I was interviewed last week for the Christian Science Monitor about this (this article will likely appear in May). My reply is below.
