Rob Reynolds has a new post on a report about digital textbooks and its projected growth in the next five years. Openness is mentioned briefly, but what the remainder of the report means for open education is left up to the reader. From the post:
The availability of more textbook content in digital format will lead to greater customer demand for customized content, as well as to a proliferation of digital product models by publishers using the same content – chapters, key concepts, topic bundles, etc. This demand for content disaggregation will translate into new revenue models.
Thanks to Shawn J. Miller for the link.
