I just read a piece about how textbooks are a "disruptive innovation." Sure, they might interfere with textbook profits (if we can continue to increase adoption), but I think it is disingenuous to suggest textbook will disrupt .

@garyackerman Welp, if disrupting means some of those poor unworthy folks get access to information & experiences that they had been paying thousands of dollars for, that is disruptive. Good trouble, as it were.

@garyackerman I think one way OER's can edge more towards disruption is when the educators themselves are creating the textbooks collaboratively, rather than depending on some other entity to create it
