Caswell
Tom Caswell, Shelley Henson, Marion Jensen, and David Wiley The Center for Open and Sustainable Learning Utah State University Abstract The role of distance education is shifting. Traditionally distance education was limited in the number of people served because of production, reproduction, and distribution costs. Today, while it still costs the university time and money to produce a course, technology has made it such that reproduction costs are almost non-existent. This shift has significant implications, and allows distance educators to play an important role in the fulfillment of the promise of the right to universal education.

Information is everywhere; the challenge is to make effective use of it. Part of the appeal of open content is that it is also a response to both the rising costs of traditionally published resources and the lack of educational resources in some regions, and a cost-effective alternative to textbooks and other materials.Giving Knowledge for Free: The Emergence of Open Educational Resources
