Nice! Many believe stronger protections are needed for intellectual property, including OER content hosted online. Cloudflare serves as a content delivery intermediary for LibreTexts and has implemented a new policy that may significantly curb AI scraping. gizmodo.com/free-lunch-is-ov…

BTW: I just saw the prototype of the AI Author Tools we are building for building OER in the LibreTexts libraries. This will be cool when released...

100% correct! "... Let's stop calling it "Artificial Intelligence" then and call it for what it is and makes "plagiarism software" because "It doesn't create anything, but copies existing works, of existing artists, modifying them enough to escape copyright laws...." - Chomsky

Rocking!
I'm excited to announce that I'm co-directing a new 3-yr $2 million dollar project, Visualize Engineering Concepts Through Open Resources (VECTOR), to expand visualizations for Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials. #OER engr.source.colostate.edu/mu…

Howdy. It's time to register for our fall OctoberFest on October 7 immediately before the #OpenEd24 conference. This one-day virtual workshop covers everything you need to know about the LibreVerse including editing, adapting, and remixing #OER. commons.libretexts.org/event…

I think I was complimented this evening then a student found out why I have a LibreTexts shirt on. I really hope "badass" hasn't changed meaning in the last few decades.

"I think OER is the wave of the future and traditional textbook publishers are just a dieing [sic] breed. What an OER text doesn't cover I make up with other materials and with case studies" from Leslie Forehand's presentation. #calOER2024.
