opencontent-org-4249		More on the Cost Trap and Inclusive Access – iterating toward openness			.html	text/html	4479	227	63	[Back in 2012 – 2013] I was impressed (like many others I'm sure) with how Wiley was able to frame the cost-savings argument around open textbooks to build broader interest for OERs. If you're a longtime reader of Iterating Toward Openness, you've read my discussions of means and ends in this context a number of times. And I want to do it worldwide." For reasons I have outlined countless times (relating to the pedagogical innovation only possible in the context of permission to engage in the 5R activities), I believe OER adoption is a critically important means to achieving this end. However, in the new context of inclusive access models, arguments about "reducing the cost of college" and providing students with "day one access" are increasingly ineffective at persuading faculty to adopt OER because publishers have completely co-opted these messages.	./cache/opencontent-org-4249.html	./txt/opencontent-org-4249.txt
