We’ll discuss how existing publishers can join the Open movement and the emerging business models around Open.   Guests at the table: Kathy Perkins, Director of PhET Interactive Simulations at University of Colorado BoulderRandy Reina, Working at the crossroads of educational technology, systems interoperabilty, and organizational developmentMarc Oswald, Co-founder and CEO of Open Assessment Technologies (OAT)
