2009 K-12 IM Market in Review
The worst U.S. economy in 70 years led to:





Postponement of California’s K-8 reading
adoption & second-year purchase of math. Also,
disruption of the state’s adoption process.
Incomplete implementation of Florida’s language
arts/literature adoption.
Adoption postponements in Kentucky, Oregon,
North Carolina, New Mexico.
Significant funding cut in Illinois.
Consideration of “open source” (OER) initiatives
in several key states.
Association of American
Publishers (AAP)
8
California Meltdown






Reading adoption not fully implemented.
Two-year purchase requirement eliminated.
IM funding is “flexible” as long as Williams
sufficiency requirements are met.
IM adoption schedule is frozen through 2013-14
year.
Curriculum Commission unfunded.
Governor new “digital initiative” (i.e. OER)
further clouds the outlook on California.
California is, in effect, an “open territory” with
limited funding.
Association of American
Publishers (AAP)

A Look at 2010




2010 adoption calendar looks better.
Large adoptions in Texas and Florida are
on track.
Uncertainty over state revenue.
Challenges at the Federal/National levels.

OER Defined


Open educational resources (OER) are
instructional materials freely available for
use, remixing and distribution.
The term “OER" was first adopted at
UNESCO’s 2002 Forum on the Impact of
Open Courseware for Higher Education in
Developing Countries (funded by the
Hewlett Foundation).

OER Claims & Characteristics






Free!
Usually digital/electronic. Belief that digital
should be “free.”
Open license allows for collaboration and
remixing.
Easy to update.
Foundation funding and now government
funding.
Adoption of OER could save states and districts
money (maybe, but at what cost?).
Association of American
Publishers (AAP)
23
OER Drawbacks








Are the OER materials developed by trusted,
known, expert sources?
Are the materials accurate?
Are the materials aligned with state standards?
Are they based on current research?
Can OER provide a comprehensive curriculum
with content, scope & sequence?
Are the materials really “open” or are the
collaborations a form of collective piracy?
Do schools have the technology infrastructure to
go fully digital?
What about the MSST?
Association of American
Publishers (AAP)

Current OER Initiatives





Schwarzenegger's “digital” initiative.
Texas (H.B. 2488) “Hochberg Bill.”
Virginia “flexbook” initiative.
Washington state/Gates Foundation
initiative.
Federal student loan bill (Sec. 505).

OER & Digital Implications
for Manufacturers




Further erosion of traditional K-12 print
market.
Implications for state funding and
adoptions.
MSST issues.
But, print-on-demand opportunities will
likely increase.
