My original draft had a section about Boundless Learning and the importance of that model, but I pulled it out based on all the copyright / lawsuit baggage. Nevertheless, I agree that they are on the right path, or at least that business model is critical for the OER ecosystem to thrive in the future.

Of course - I am very curious to see if it ever congeals in a way that threatens publishers (as I work for a publisher).

You've outlined a lot of the interesting debates in the ed tech space. There is definitely something that edupreneurs can learn from teachers, and vice versa. As an entrepreneur working in this space, I have found it not that easy to get access to schools and teachers to get their input. Reaching schools has been difficult. I'm one of the founders of Native Tongue, and we're driven by our purpose to make learning languages fun and easy. We are helping people learn a language. I feel that we are making a difference (even if its a small dent in the world!). Edupreneurs are driven by the fact that we are doing something that is world changing and also meaningful. Or would you rather us put our energy and effort into other ideas outside of education? Michael – great post. You’ve outlined a lot of the interesting debates in the ed tech space.
