The first edition, was a landmark experiment: it was both produced in paper copy and made available for free download under a Creative Commons licen.se. The 400 paper copies sold rapidly and over 80,000 copies of the full text have been downloaded, in addition to thousands of copies of individual chapters. A number of the chapters have also been, tran.sl.ated into five languages and reprinted regionally. In sum, the book is neither an academic tome nor a prescriptive “how to” guide. Like the university itself, the book represents a blending of scholarship and of research; practical attention to the details of teaching and of provision for learning opportunity; dissemination of research results; and mindful attention to the economics of the business of education.
