Knowledge, Learning, Community

This came through my email under a University Business banner but I'm guessing it was marketing content (though not labeled as such; the email states (in tiny print) "You are receiving this email as part of a free information service from University Business Magazine," which of course is a lie). The company being advertised, Intellus Learning, us basically using the termninology of OER to market online courses. Or as they say, "Curated, fully customizable courses ("curated by Macmillan Learning") that make adopting open educational resources (OER) efficient, worry-free and, at $14.99 per course, affordable for students." The word for all of this in my dictionary is skeevy.
