rate of 1.1%.“ ~April 7, 2010

"The US book publishing industry consists of about 2,600 companies with combined annual
revenue of about $27 billion. Major companies include John Wiley & Sons, McGraw-Hill, Pearson,

39. Educational RemixEducational Remix
The open education movement
introduces large quantities of formal
education resources into the pool of
content that can be mashed up and
remixed for learners.
Networks have evolved to the point
where learners are no longer bound by
space or time, which allows learners
to direct and choose their personal
learning environment objectives.
There is now a “mashup of learning”
medium to best support content
knowledge and skill acquisition for
learners. http://solr.bccampus.ca/wiki/index.php/Mashing
