EdNext Podcast: Will Open Educational Resources Disrupt the Textbook Industry?

ednext-oct16-podcast-mcshane-img01

Teachers can now access a wealth of free resources online—from one image to a whole curriculum. But the growing reliance on open educational resources raises questions—who will produce them, how will they be compensated, how will educators be able to find the best ones, and how will all this affect the market for textbooks? 

 In this episode, Marty West talks with Michael McShane, author of “Open Educational Resources,” about these questions and more.

The EdNext Podcast is available on iTunes, Google Play, SoundcloudStitcher and here every Wednesday.
