Open Access Week Seeks To Address “Textbook Crisis”, Gauri Mangala
Open Access Week at Gettysburg College
Jay Hauser ‘19 spent $391.43 for a single course’s materials during his first semester at Gettysburg College.
“I had a class where we read classical text of [political] philosophy. But only sections of each text. But we had to buy the books. No one ever tried to bring in open source online copies of them and the professor did not provide them. Instead we spent a lot of money on like twentyish books and only used parts of them.”
In fact, a 2016 analysis conducted by College Board found that the price of books and supplies for a full-time student …

Ai Education: Open-Access Educational Resources On Ai, Todd W. Neller
Ai Education: Open-Access Educational Resources On Ai, Todd W. Neller
Computer Science Faculty Publications
Open-access AI educational resources are vital to the quality of the AI education we offer. Avoiding the reinvention of wheels is especially important to us because of the special challenges of AI Education. AI could be said to be “the really interesting miscellaneous pile of Computer Science”. While “artificial” is well-understood to encompass engineered artifacts, “intelligence” could be said to encompass any sufficiently difficult problem as would require an intelligent approach and yet does not fall neatly into established Computer Science subdisciplines. Thus AI consists of so many diverse topics that we would be hard-pressed to individually create quality learning …
