Measuring Open Education

Leigh Blackall has a new post on his efforts to measure open education’s return on investment. Blackall argues that a teacher engaged in openness saves $5011 per year. From the post:

I hope to be able to argue that at the very least, supporting teachers who produce and publish open educational resources on popular social media sites is good for the organisation at a very basic operational level. I might even go as far as to argue that these dollars should be turned into incentives and rewards for those engaging in such practice, and special support for improving the quality and design of some of the more popular resources that have been generated.
