380 "commons and sharing with the world. They remained open to new ideas, "

383 "better book that is insightful, honest, and useful."

388 "Neugierde in die Recherche und das Schreiben und hatten großen Respekt vor "

390 "blieben offen für neue Ideen, auch für die Möglichkeit, dass ihre "

483 "collaborating together to create something new, or it may simply be a "

9193 "OpenStax is an extension of a program called Connexions, which was started "
9194 "in 1999 by Dr. Richard Baraniuk, the Victor E. Cameron Professor of "
9195 "Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University in Houston, Texas. "
9196 "Frustrated by the limitations of traditional textbooks and courses, "
9197 "Dr. Baraniuk wanted to provide authors and learners a way to share and "
9198 "freely adapt educational materials such as courses, books, and reports. "
9199 "Today, Connexions (now called OpenStax CNX) is one of the world’s best "
9200 "libraries of customizable educational materials, all licensed with Creative "

9207 "In 2008, while in a senior leadership role at WebAssign and looking at ways "
9208 "to reduce the risk that came with relying on publishers, David Harris began "
9209 "investigating open educational resources (OER) and discovered Connexions. A "
9210 "year and a half later, Connexions received a grant to help grow the use of "
9211 "OER so that it could meet the needs of students who couldn’t afford "
9212 "textbooks. David came on board to spearhead this effort. Connexions became "
9213 "OpenStax CNX; the program to create open textbooks became OpenStax College, "
9214 "now simply called OpenStax."

9221 "publishing along with where publishers have inefficiencies. In David’s view, "
9222 "peer review and high standards for quality are critically important if you "
9223 "want to scale easily. Books have to have logical scope and sequence, they "
9224 "have to exist as a whole and not in pieces, and they have to be easy to "
9225 "find. The working hypothesis for the launch of OpenStax was to "
9226 "professionally produce a turnkey textbook by investing effort up front, with "
9227 "the expectation that this would lead to rapid growth through easy downstream "
9228 "adoptions by faculty and students."

9406 "OER 2.0 is about OER intended to be used and adopted on a national level "
9407 "right from the start. This requires a bigger investment up front but pays "
9408 "off through wide geographic adoption. The OER 2.0 process for OpenStax "
9409 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9410 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9411 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9412 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9413 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "
9414 "to develop a book from scratch, a good example being their biology book."
9417 #. type: Content of: <book><part><chapter><para>
9418 #: MadewithCreativeCommonsmostup-to-dateversion.xml:7080
9420 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "
9421 "sequence of existing textbooks. They ask questions like what does the "
9422 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9423 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9424 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9425 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9426 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9427 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9428 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9429 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9430 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9431 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "
9432 "it goes into production and through a final proofread. The whole process is "

9442 "make more money under the traditional publishing model, but that is only "
9443 "maybe 5 percent of all authors. From David’s perspective, 95 percent of all "
9444 "authors do better under the OER 2.0 model, as there is no risk to them and "

11556 "Supported by an interdisciplinary team of experts at Stanford, Piya "
