Open Educational Resources and Change in Higher Education: Reflections from Practice

This morning, it tossed me Open Educational Resources and Change in Higher Education: Reflections from Practice, with chapters from two of my friends:

Integrating OER into Open Educational Practices by Gráinne Conole, describing the carrot approach of the OPAL project,

and:
