OpenCourseWare Consortium Dues Adoption
Steve Carson has a new post on the adoption of dues for the OpenCourseWare Consortium. From the post:
While we were pleased and grateful to announce the recent charter sustaining member commitments, we recognize that the majority of members are not in a position to make a commitment at this level. The regular dues payments made by the broader membership, however, are equally important to the ongoing sustainability of the organization and we appreciate the financial support for the Consortium.

Reaction to OCWC Fundraising
David Wiley has a new post reacting to yesterday’s story regarding OCWC fundraising. From the post:
So why don’t I feel happy at this news? I think it is because I just don’t understand how the OCWC adds value to the “global effort to openly publish educational materials.
Also, coverage from The Chronicle of Higher Education: Wired Campus.
