EdSurge covers the recent transfer of OER materials from Lumen Learning to Course Hero. The explanation we are given is that "in 2021, Lumen says, its online course materials drew in 350 million page views" and the cost of hosting them "can look unappetizing when the company paying them doesn't feel it's supporting their main mission." It's a "pricey distraction." Really? That's their total - how many views did the courses that were transferred get? What's the bandwidth? And a million page views per day sounds like a lot, but for a company it's very afordable - I'd budget maybe $200 per month, though here's an article showing how to get it down to $10 per month.
