Geoff Cain responds to David Wiley's post from yesterday. "We need to bring OER out of the teaching & learning communities that use them, not the corporations," writes Cain. "David's post is overly-concerned with business interests.

Moreover, " By focusing on justifications for commercial models, we do a great injustice to all of the great work that is being done in Open Pedagogy." Quite so.
