Notes:
We talked to Bryan Alexander (NITLE) about Pearson’s and Blackboard’s flirtations with “openness.”

Blackboard’s Press Release – http://www.blackboard.com/About-Bb/Media-Center/Press-Releases.aspx?releaseid=1618654
Google announced the winners of its Project 10 to the 100 prize. Among the winners – The Khan Academy (http://khanacademy.org/) Seems like a win for OER. Did you know that FLC is a member of the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources?
FLC has officially joined the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER).

If you are interested in adopting one of the many open textbooks, or want information on the program, contact Zack.
