This paper reports on the liklihood that students will enroll in classes offered by the Open University of the Netherlands should the university offer its learning materials for free. The concern, of course, is that if the materials are made freely available, not only would the university lose a source of revenue, people might no longer register and pay tuition. According to the findings, however, more people would register if the materials are made available as open educational resources. Go figure. This paper is a chapter from the online book Open Educational Resources and Social Networks.
