"We grew up teaching ourselves online. When we wanted to explore beyond school, we turned to Phd field reading lists and MIT OpenCourseWare. But our reading often hit a wall: paywalls or out-of-date material limited what we could learn"
"We have high hopes for Coursetexts. We want to make the highest quality education available so anyone can be a true expert in their desired field. We want students to be limited only by their curiosity, not by access to materials"

"We hope our software provides a financially sustainable solution for opencourseware providers (OCWs) to continue open sourcing at the pace of teaching, with material that’s accessible to all learners"
"As a proof of concept, we’ve previously published 30+ courses at universities without existing open access initiatives. All our courses are open sourced with the professor’s explicit consent"

"Quick publication with minimal effort from professors: Our median time to creating a course preview after receiving professor consent is under 1 week. Compiling and formatting materials can otherwise require months of review"

@impactology As long as someone is responsive to errata reports, this approach to releasing open courseware seems not terrible.
The audit function of a system needs to live somewhere, and if a streamlined process mostly works, that's what gives us industrialized mass abundance.
But automating routine editing and publishing workflow also brings us into the territory of Ironies of Automation -- small errors are corrected, large ones may be amplified.

@jmeowmeow Yes! Its just making the process of professors who do want to contribute to OER easier
A good reminder that maybe there are few professors who don't want to gatekeep knowledge and brand it like a luxury product but don't have the means to share it openly
