USU OCW and Institutional Change

John Robertson has a new blog post reacting to the discontinuation of funding for USU OCW (reported by OEN back in July, before the article in the Chronicle of Higher Education). Robertson suggests that the institution needs to change to embrace openness, along with some of the costs. From the post:

An OER initiatives that tries to do all that work for the institution, without the instituion undergoing some changes to the basic institutional processes of how we do education. runs the risk of remaining a project (irrespective of their funding source).
