| Speaking of electronic texts, weâre talking open
| source here. If they donât exist as Flexbooks or
| some other format that my teachers and students
| could easily use, then I want my teachers to be
| subject-matter experts who can generate open
| content. There, of course, is another dividend of
| corporate sponsorship: contribution to a growing
| store of high-quality educational content.
