University of Wyoming Libraries have it right; if it's a better way for textbooks, it's a better way for software...
"As college tuition and associated fees continue to rise, so too have the prices of textbooks [software]."

Omgosh, every #OpenEducation person in Australia, read, bookmark, and share this thread! 🤩 There is already such valuable info there from Rajiv and the first few respondents — and it’ll only grow as more people find the thread and contribute their knowledge and experience to the conversation. Let’s help each other to build institutional capacity for #OpenEducationalPractice.
Rajiv says he is “especially interested in tactics that are relatively low-effort or that are one-time projects but that pay significant dividends over time.” I.e. strategies that any institution can employ to get the ball rolling.
So, check it out. Learn some stuff. Add some stuff. Share all of it.
