[Duraspace] A Weird but True Fact about Textbook Publishers and OER -e-Literate

[Hilton Gibson]

The traditional textbook business is clearly not viable in the long term,
at least in that market, at least at the scale and margins that the bigger
publishers are used to making. So these companies want to get out of the
textbook business. A few of them will say that publicly, but many of them
say it among themselves. They don’t want to be out of business. They just
want to be out of the textbook business. *They want to sell software and
services that are related to educational content, like homework platforms
or course redesign consulting services.*
