Tony Hirst calculates what it would cost to produce Open University courses and how much advertising would be needed to fund them were there no subsidies, tuitions or other funding. The upshot is that each student would need to click through an ad image on each page of each course. Martin Weller concludes that advertising won't fund courses. I conclude (as I have on numerous previous cases, for example, here) that we'll abandon the course production model.
