All authors write their books on computers in these days.
Therefore it is very easy to transform that manuscript to an ebook.
One ebook software can be use by billion times. Then almost anybody can host an ebook.

This is what what I had been claiming for the last 10 years.
Books are expensive because of publishers. Numbers are just above. Plus we kill all the forests.
Poor intellectual property rights defenders? Where are you ? Only 10 % goes to professors or authors.
We are willing to pay $ 10 to the professors for an ebook instead of a $ 100 for that publishers’ book.
Publishers will be extinct as well do not worry. Look up Kodak films. Digital photo came. Film industry became extinct. So will publishers. I suggest now sell ebooks at $ 11 ; $ 10 for the writers $ 1 is the profit for distributors.

[...] Can Creative Commons effect social change in education? The open education community today is only a small subsection of those involved in education worldwide, but some great initiatives and projects have already come out of it. An initiative like Peer 2 Peer University is a prime example of the social change that can happen in education when you start building on the concepts of open. P2PU is teaching and learning by peers for peers, and it is organized learning that is taking place outside of any institution. It’s what can happen when the default changes, when open educational resources scale. CC helps make that scale possible, which is what will ultimately transform the social landscape of education.

Comment on Beyond the Textbook: The Illusion of Quality in K-12 Education by John McGeough

John McGeough — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 05:58:11 +0000

This is one of the most spot on brilliant articles on what is wrong with textbooks as we know them. I am fascinated by the concept of designing one’s own learning materials using naturally occuring pathways. Real learning is an organic process much like the growth of healthy plant root systems. Roots follow organic pathways to the raw materials they need each day. The brain will do the same if it is given the chance to actually follow a natural pathway.
