A development in “open education” in California…
From The Chronicle of Higher Ed:
It first started “when Washington State announced its Open Course Library initiative in October,” but since then others have joined the bandwagon. “The University of Massachusetts at Amherst awarded 10 teaching faculty $1,000 grants this spring as a part of its Open Education Initiative.” And perhaps more significantly, “Darrell Steinberg, the leader of California’s Senate, proposed a bill to establish the online California Digital Open Source Library, which if enacted “will allocate $25-million in state funds to create 50 free online college textbooks.”
