• #32: Leicester City Council is the first local government authority in the United Kingdom (UK) to provide 84 community schools with blanket permission to openly license their educational resources. The council is recommending that school staff use the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license to share materials created in the course of their work.
• #33: With the free primer textbook, the Ministry wants to address the issue of rising textbook prices (average textbook expenditures by families have risen by almost 50% percent since 2007) as well as end a range of unfair practices by publishers (that forced, for example, parents to purchase new textbooks each year by bundling them into a single volume with exercise books). The Ministry estimates that parents will save 100 million Złoty (approximately 25m Euro) on textbook expenses in the first year, and up to 700 million złoty (approximately 168m Euro) in 2020. The costs of the free textbooks will be covered from budget funds previously reserved for subsidies to textbook purchases for poor families. The Ministry will also subsidise, along the free primer textbook, a range of supplementary materials, including exercise books and a foreign language textbook. In following years, the program will be extended so that it will cover grades from 1 to 9. The program will also be integrated with open e-textbooks from the „Digital school” program. http://oerpolicy.eu/polish-ministry-of-education-releases-an-open-primer-textbook/
• #36: saved students an estimated $8.3 million dollars to date, more than quadruple the state’s initial investment One of the earliest major programs to pursue open textbooks as a textbook affordability strategy comes from Washington State. The state legislature recognized that most of the enrollments in community and technical colleges were concentrated in a small number of courses, and therefore state student financial aid was being used to purchase the same textbooks over and over again each year. So, the legislature appropriated funding for a program called the Open Course Library to outfit the system’s 81 largest enrollment courses with OER and other low-cost materials that faculty could optionally use. So far it has saved students an estimated $8.3 million dollars to date, more than quadruple the state’s initial investment. Those savings will only continue to grow as more colleges, students and instructors make use of the materials. Allen, Nicole (2014). Back to Facts: Washington's Open Course Library [Web log post].

• #40: http://www.studentpirgs.org/sites/student/files/reports/The%20Billion%20Dollar%20Solution.pdf Based on the National Center for Education Statistics’ most recent enrollment records, there are more than 11 million full-time undergraduates at institutions of higher education. With the availability of more than 160 open textbooks right now, we stipulate that every undergraduate takes at least ONE course for which there is an open textbook available, each year. From this stipulation, we can estimate that if every student had just one of their traditional textbooks replaced with OER or an open textbook, it would save students in this country more than $1 billion dollars annually. This is also a conservative estimate. This savings figure does not include the fact that most students take two semesters of schooling per year (which would double the estimates of savings), or the fact that the average full-time student takes as many as 5 or 6 courses per semester.

• #61: Awareness should also be raised of the pedagogical and financial benefits of OER to districts (e.g., cost savings, flexible and permanent access, course performance), teachers (e.g., ability to adapt materials, improved learning outcomes, OER creation as course assignments), and institutions (e.g., retention, completion).
• #62: Further education is recommended on copyright laws and Creative Commons licenses, preferably through the support of the Library and/or the District’s Copyright Office.
• #64: These policies should ideally be tied to the district’s mission and academic plan.
• #66: Know about this trend Use the free, open content
