This is an attempt to bring the cost of worldwide accredited
university degree training down to $1 per year or less by all
countries, and states sharing podcast course costs, and to
provide links to thousands of free courses from many
countries, for all ages, to improve course learning, and to
implement the success of this economic concept. The
purpose of this site is to make your life better. I care about
you.
Group sourcing: = (group brainstorming)

A place for your ideas and comments will be created on this
website. Together, and by countries and states cooperating
in this way, we can reduce the cost of education to all people.
(Today's enemy is tomorrow's friend.) The math and
reasoning for this conclusion is simple.  

How schooling for a bachelor's degree could cost you $1 a year or less

The typically highest wages that a U.S. professor gets is
$212,000. per year (salaries vary from $30,000 to $212,000) for
teaching 1 to 6 courses. (Professor salaries:

Professors Salaries Worldwide--Exterior Link
http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/03/22/new-study-analyzes-how-faculty-pay-compares-worldwide

Some professors
get $1,800 for teaching one course, but in our case more is
needed and expected from each one course professor.

College textbook writers rarely earns more than $100,000 total
for one textbook, ($25,000 would be the total earnings for a
very successful textbook. and $10,000 is a typical total
earnings for a textbook). (Occupational Outlook Handbook,
2010-11 Edition External Link--Copy and Paste in Google

Software for this same course could cost $200,000, more or
less, and management fees to tie all this together could cost
$100,000 for each course. Thus, the potential one-course cost
of $600,000 dollars. Forty courses are required for a bachelor's
of science, and 40 x $600,000 = $24,000,000 is the estimated
cost of forty courses.

But, if you had 80 courses you could cover many of the
population's requirements for various bachelor degree
courses, and this would mean $48,000,000 would need to be
spent, each year, with added translations costs, to educate
most of the world's population to the bachelor level. This cost
would include on line textbooks, in print, braille, or voice.
(These stated costs, are speculations, which can be
experimentally determined)

There are about 313,000,000  people in the U.S. If each person
paid about 15+ cents, each year, for the right to be educated
throughout his or her life, and took all or any, of the right
combination of 80 selected podcast courses, to get her/his
desired accredited bachelor's degree, these people would have
paid an amount equal to the cost of their podcast courses.
($48,000,000 / 313,000,000 = 15+ cents.) The courses could be
taken in the comfort of one's home, in high schools, or
elsewhere over the Internet from a podcast. This procedure
would decrease the cost of living to everyone, including
people who never had any schooling, because the educated
could then charge less for their work, the supply (number of
educated) would be greater, and the cost of life would go
down, and the quality would go up.

Or, there are 1,500,000,000 English speaking people and
1,300,000,000 Mandarin Chinese. If each of these
2,800,000,000 people wanted to be educated in English the
cost would be paid if each of these people were taxed less
than two cents each year, for his/her bachelor's degree.
Incidentally, there are more English speaking people in
China than in the U.S.A.  

Now there would be additional student access and
processing fees that would be needed to be met if all these
people actually signed up as every costs must be paid.
Experimentation would determine a final cost, hopefully
nominal.

Other-language speaking countries could translate podcast
courses, modifying them to suit their individual language and
cultural needs, and if their citizens took these same podcast
courses, much of the world's education problems would be
solved, and cost would no longer prevent people from getting
the job they wanted which is now blocked because people do
not have the money or time to go to college, and blocked by
licensing laws which require a degree before one can go
further in school, or even get a wanted job. This, to some
degree, happens in all nations.

How would you test these students so they could get an
accredited degree? After studying each individual course,
taking their lesson tests on that course, and feeling ready
for that final, each student could be tested on their home
computer, or at high schools, etc, while being photographed
with face, iris, finger, or key stroke identifying software.

The many final test questions of a large bank of questions,
would be randomly re-mixed after each test taker. The
course software would notify the accrediting entity when
each person had passed individual finals, and when the
required number of course finals have been passed each
student would get their bachelor degree from a course
accrediting entity recognized by all countries, state and
federal government, and hopefully by all educational
institutions as meeting their school requirements, life would
be enriched, simplified, and cost drastically less. (More
educated males and females have fewer children.This could
eliminate population runaway growth, and cause less global
warming, and the oceans from rising over our heads)

Currently people travel to their universities, or schools to get
their education. Much gas, money and time is consumed that
could be saved to learn. In their 10 minutes to two hour trip to
class and back, lives are risked in traffic, on average, wasting
a half gallon of gas traveling back and forth, spending up to
2 hours daily in traffic, walking between classes, waiting for
class to start, and getting back home.

In a modern, efficient podcast world this waste is eliminated.
Now thousand of professors give the same lecture on the
same subject, in the same type of buildings, needing grounds
and building maintenance, police service, administrative
controls, plumbing, etc. One podcast can replace this waste,
all these thousands of then unneeded trips, buildings,
administrators, sidewalks, grounds service people, and
professors, then would be freed to do other important work
elsewhere and this would save trillions. This reduced cost
would make it possible for the poorest of poor to be
educated.

In some countries up to 19 % of their budget is spent
because of wasteful education methods, and this prevents
people from fulfilling their other equally important personal
needs. (Of an estimated $l.l trillion being spent nationwide
in the U.S. on education, at all levels, for school year 2009
-2010, a substantial majority came from State, local, and
private sources. External Link http://www.ed.gov/

Could this cost be cut in half, or much less with a liberal use
of podcasts? It is the customers of students who finally,
actually pay for the students high education costs and this
makes the cost of life very expensive. A study being carried
out by the geographer, Ronald Dorn at Arizona State
University suggests that students who use free online
textbooks perform as well academically as students who
buy expensive copies from traditional publishers. India,
China and other countries could also create courses and
software. South Korea already has Robots do some of their
teaching.

How much money would international students attending
U.S. schools save every year if the total number of English
speaking people (1,500,000,000 of them) shared the cost of
80 course podcasts ($48,000,000) and the international
students used those courses for their education by
studying, on their computer, in their home instead of going
to brick and mortar U.S. schools? Answer: Total spent by
U.S. International students / number of international
students equals amount spent by each student =
$17,600,000,000 / 671,616 = $26,206 = (spending per student
rounded ). But with all English speaking people sharing the
cost of podcasts the total spending would have been =
number of students times the yearly cost of educating each
student = 671,616 X $.03 = $20,148. If the podcasts were used
= $17,600,000,000 - $20,148 = $17,599,979,852 would have been
saved by people sharing the costs of podcasts, and this
saving is just for international students. Total savings world
wide would be trillions if people studied at home and used
podcasts instead of going to brick---and-mortar schools.
(source of total spent by international U.S. students is
Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice president of the Institute
of International Education, who notes that international
students spend an estimated $17.6-billion in the U.S.
economy in 2008-9.

If this same podcast system was used for courses from
kindergarten through 12th. grade, assuming 5 podcast
courses, per year, per grade at $600,000 per course, the 65
additional podcast courses would cost $39,000,000 for a
total cost of $39 + $48 million = $87,000,000 to educate each
individual with podcasts from kindergarten through college.
(This includes the cost of all e-textbooks) If all the
2,800,000,000 combined Mandarin Chinese, and English
Speaking people paid $87,000,000 / 2,800.000,000 people =3.1+
cents. Each person would have payed 3.1 cents per year for
their total education. But, if only U.S. residents paid the $87
Million divided by 313,000,000  residents, each U.S.person
would pay 27+ cents, each year for their total podcast
education from kindergarten through college.

Primary and Secondary teachers could have their students
listen to these podcast courses, and spend their own class
time clarifying the subjects. Classes could be larger, of much
higher quality, substitutes could be mostly eliminated, and as
much more research and money would have been put into
each course, quality would be higher. Parents, students,
home schoolers and prisoners could listen to that days class
repeatedly, on the Internet, that night, while sick in bed, or at
any time.

A Universal Internet Language would then have been created,
trillions would have been saved, (populations and world
warming would have been decreased because educated
men and women have less children), and the possibility of a
more pleasant life would occur. All this because of world
group buying, and a cooperative, loving spirit. Now 50 states
and all governments are duplication each other efforts and
wasting and loosing billions of their taxpayer's money by
duplicating the same courses 17,036 times in that
many world-wide colleges, and there are over 16,000
school boards in the U. S. What are they doing? Are
they duplicating each other in some ways?--External Link

An interesting video indicating how teachers time could be
saved insuring quality teaching with podcasts thus class
teachers time could be used for in-class clarification instead
of just lecturing, and the software in these interactive
courses could immediately tell the teacher what the student
had not understood, and courses would also be available for
home study. External link Let’s use video to reinvent education

MIT, UNESCO, Goggle, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, India, China,
Wickipedia, You Tube, Mark Zuckerberg, Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, U.S.A., U.K., , Netflix, or a consortium of
Professors not aligned with a university, PUBLISHERS, the
cooperative efforts of the students themselves, etc. could
also provide these same courses, but much faster than
PodcastInternationalUniversity.org would be ready to do.

The average 4 year degree student spends $1916 dollars just
for gas in their 1095 days of travel back and forth to school,
(at a half gallon of gas per day with $3.50 gallon gas,) These
same brick-and-mortar students waste 2190 hours in their 4
years of schooling, at 2 hours per day, while traveling back
and forth to school and waiting for class to start. This is more
time than the average student spends in study to get their 4
year degree. All governments are wasting their citizens
money by colluding with their educational lobbies to prevent
educational competition against the brick-and-mortar-schools.

A partial ultimate Course content wish list

a. The lecture vocabulary would be given before a lecture with
the pronunciations and definitions of terms, that can be skipped
or clicked on.

b. The preliminary background knowledge required for
understanding the lecture, and a link to this knowledge provide
in the lecture text, can be clicked on or skipped.

c. Possibly many more than the number of course lectures than
the average school provides with much more detailed
background knowledge which can be discussed (or linked to).

d. Intelligent Software that all by itself can answer a student's
questions on a particular subject and an awarenesss, by the
software, of the student's missing background knowledge from
the questions asked, and a direct link to that source. On the
TV game show Jeopardy, a computer called "Watson" was
used to challenge the best human minds, and with questions
limited to one course, (instead of 10,000,000 documents that
"Watson" was programmed with) why can't this goal be
achieved? This would eliminate the need to ask questions
personally to a frequently unavailable professor or teaching
assistant.

e. Each computer course links to websites so that questions
can be asked on the Internet, with other students answering
when the questions have not been answered by course software.

f. All textbooks would be included online and any word that is
clicked on would be defined, and pronounced. If a page number
in the index is clicked on, you are taken directly to that page.

g. Interactive software could be available.

h. A podcast virtual teaching laboratory in which one learns
much as is learned in an MIT Laboratory, but possibly more,
and with video displays.

i. Your favorite Icon as your virtual teacher, Albert Einstein,
Isaac Newton, Madam Curie, etc.

j. In your comments, you could add to this course content
wish list your additional wish list items.46

 It would be ideal that a course language could be
translated to all languages at the click of a key, and this might
someday happen. If all 1.5 billion English speaking people
shared the $48,000,000 cost of these 80 courses all of
Harvard's  6,700 undergraduates could be educated for a total
cost of $215 or about 3.2 cents each year instead of $50,000   
or a total cost of $335,000,000. (Harvards undergraduates
would save, in 4 years, $1,339,999,140.

Any university, primary, or high school could not afford to pay
the course cost of this ultimate course education wish list for
just their own in school use, but with countries sharing the
cost an affordable, ultimate Bachelor Degree, primary, and high
school podcast courses can be provided for pennies, that
would be superior to existing courses in the current brick-and
-mortar schools, and China's, India's and the world's educational
problems would be solved.

There is a shortage of high school science teachers. Podcast
courses would solve this problem, provide, podcast lessons
to replace absent teachers, as well as providing courses on
unavailable subjects, or courses too short to take a whole
semester. Sick people, people that cannot leave their homes,
the prison population, and trades people, (including vocational
training) could all learn in their current location, and very
advanced high school students could get their bachelor degree
before finishing the 12th grade.

Legislators are now protecting brick-and-mortar schools
from competition by now requiring that school have a campus.
This gives the legislatures money or other awards for this
criminal act but robs you of the opportunity of a reasonable
cost education, which anyone could afford.These laws need
to be overturned.

What do you, we, need to do to provide inexpensive, quality
education, and overcome any educational lobby or other
political resistance to this change? To start, you could
advertise by spreading the word, on the social media of this
educational method and website, (to get people started!!!!!!)
Or, you could walk, at your college campus, on the PUBLIC
sidewalk, adjoining the PUBLIC street, and exercise your
PEACEFUL, free speech rights with this sign. How schooling for
a bachelor degree could cost $1 a year or less as explained in:
PodcastInternationalUniversity.org


Is YOUR Government screwing students and taxpayers to
eliminate competition for education lobbies, and brick-and-  
mortar universities?                                                                      

The table shows the yearly cost, per student of getting a
College Degree, and the cost of kindergarten through High
School in countries or states of various sizes, (with group
buying.) It costs $48,000,000 to provide the educational
material, for 80 Bachelor Degree College Courses, and
$39,000,000 for kindergarten through high school, in both
cases if e-books and lectures are provided by podcast over
the Internet.

*With extra large classes some electronic and processing fees
would also occur, hopefully not large, and these later determined
costs would need to be added to the above chart.

The reason why costs in brick-and-mortar schools, and high
schools is so expensive is because each type of the same
courses are needlessly being  recreated, each year, about
4,168 times for this many U.S. colleges, 17,036 times for the
worldwide colleges and 18,435 times only for this many U.S.
high schools, and there are 16,216  various kinds of state
school  boards in the 50 states, and the 50  states again each
duplicating each others work, to different degrees. Exterior Link
--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_district The class
group size is sometimes as small as ten students per course,
and students, and tax payers are charged for the real estate
and other costs schools incur, as explained in
PodcastInternationalUniversity.org. Re-inventing, duplicating
the education course wheel by all countrie's state, and federal
governments,  not sharing course costs, and the 16,216 school
boards are the major causes of high education costs. These are
the reason that many people can not get an education. Stopping
this waste worldwide would save many trillion dollars every year.

If you care about the students who can not afford to go to
college, and the waste in taxes at the state and federal level
you will call the media, your state, federal presidents,
governors, senators, and representatives and explain how
your state and federal government could save billions that
are wasted on students, and governments dupicated efforts,
and thus reduce the taxes in both the state and federal
government and make it possible for everyone to go to
school, no matter what their income was (as indicated in
the yellow chart). Bring this issue up at any political
meeting and ask contentants to respond and tell you what
they can and will do about this issue. Have some courage
and character and do this! (no matter what your age is or
the country you live in).


Please don't tell me that regular college and K-12 courses    
would be as good as $600,000 courses that have thousand    
more hours of work  on them, have video, variable audio,       
software to answer question, practice graded tests,               
produced in voice, Braille,  in bold, variable print, with the    
index linked to the text pages, words linked to definitions,    
are worked on again and again in every way, are interactive,
and can be listened to repeatedly at home, in prison, on the
media, yet cost students pennies with group buying. Some  
professors get $1,800 for their course. How much time, and
money do they have to do all all this work?                             


There is No free education student's nipple!
 A peaceful voters revolt is needed! Students and parents
should start a student-parents-taxpayers-educational-coop-
University, (their own university) to drive prices from an
unaffordable high of $54,000 per year to less than a $1.00  
per year.

Schools use their political power, and treats to buy all
governments, and protect their wasteful practices and
economic interests as most economic groups do. This in
true in China, India, Russia, UK, U.S., etc. Why would you
expect otherwise? Most businesses, trades, and special
interests do the same. Thus, you need to establish an
educational organization that benefits you, the students,
parents, and taxpayers by providing low cost superior
education. This is more possible now, with podcasts,
that you see on your computer than it has ever been.
By using technology to eliminate, real estate, teaching,
testing, duplication, travel and labor cost, having huge
class courses, and using group buying these goals
can be easily reached.

There are 19,100,000 U.S. university students,  or about
57.300,000 parent of students, and student voters plus
most other U.S. taxpayers whose taxes would be reduced
by lower education costs, much more than half the
population. This means that a large block of the U.S.
population does not want a government that purposely
increase education cost and forces irrelevant high cost
education that prevents people from working by
denying licenses to work by creating irrational rules
and requirements that are made only for the purpose of
limiting competion against educational lobbies, the graft
and treat providing groups.

We need to get presidents, governors, legislation, and
judges that pevent competition out of office and insure
a government that allows education everyone can afford,
and costs pennies. There are 17,036 worldwide colleges,
each duplicating what the others are teaching, re-inventing
the college-education-course-wheel 17,036 times each year
in that many colleges. This causes expensive wasteful
education that not much effort and content has been put
into. Podcasts eliminates this wasteful practice.

By sharing course recordings, you could get higher quality,
more complete college education in your home that is
beneficial, constructive, purposeful, affordable to everyone.


The yearly SHARED COST per person in the indicated
groups: = cost of 80 courses/ divided by the group size.

1. $48,000,000 / 19,100,000 college students  = $2.52 yearly
cost in the U.S. if only college students paid all the costs.

2. $48,000,000 / U.S. population = $48,000,000 / 313,000,000
= 15+ cents instead of $54,000 tuition, if all U.S. residents
paid 15+ cents, everyone could take the 80 courses.

3. $48,000,000 / 1.5 billion English Speaking people =
 3+ cents yearly if all English speaking people shared the
 80  bachelor degree courses.

(Some years as much as $34 billion has been scheduled to
pay for only 9.1 Million U.S. college students  Pell Grants
with money taken from taxpayers which mostly
goes to colleges, not to students.) $34 billion minus $48
million equals a saving of $33,952,000,000, or a saving of
$383 dollars for each of the 88,568,468 U.S. taxpayers
who yearly recently paid any tax at all. This is a
calculation from information on Answers.com which
you can verify by re-calculating. Education with
Podcasts this way could educate 313,000,000 U.S.
people instead of only the 9 million that were educated,
or 1,500,000,000 English speaking people could be
educated for the same $48,000,000.

A student-education-coop, not hard wired to be a university,
is needed, as long as degree granting is achieved. This
could be a: 1. Course management system, 2. Learning
management systems, 3. Programmed learning system,
4. Publishers of courses that include the same course they
publish textbook for, and 5. Yes, and even organizations
sometimes called a university, college, or school could
educate and provide degree granting, as long as they are
not run just for the benefit of the schools and the
government.

These stated costs  would  include on-line textbooks, and
be more complete than any course you have ever taken,
have thousands more hours of work on them, have video,
variable audio, have software to answer questions, practice
graded tests, produced in voice, Braille, in bold variable
print, with the index linked to the text pages, words linked
to definitions, are worked on again and again in every way,
are interactive, and can be listened to repeatedly, yet cost
students pennies with group buying.

We need a peaceful students, voters revolt in the U.S.,
China, India, etc., and a students and parents coop-
University. Lobbies will resist our every mood, but we will
overcome, and vote any politician who resists, out of office.
Bring this issue up in political meetings. Education does not
need to keep you, parents, and taxpayers in dept for years.

How do schools and businesses misuse governments to
eliminate their competition and increase prices?

If governments, and states would share course costs, and
not block people from getting an accredited education, or
a wanted job, which they all do now, (encouraged by most
professions, trades, and labor unions promoting obstructive
licensing to reduce their competition by requiring irrelevant
education, delayed field entry, unnecessary high entry costs,
and thus increase their charges to you), all people
themselves could afford to get an accredited education. With
K-12 and college podcasts teacher's homework and grading
would be drastically reduced and teachers would be more
rested for their important school teaching)

Examples of deceitful rules at all occupation levels, that also
prevent employees from starting their own business, raises
unemployment, and increasing your cost of life:

a. State law requires House painters in Massachusetts to work
for a painting company for 4 years before they can take a rigging
test that allows them to use ladders and staging, this can be
learned in 1 day. (This legal ruling prevents students from
competing, earning summer money, and cheaply painting your
house.

b. Roofers in Florida must work 4 years with a contractor
(before it was no years), and prices were as low as 8 cents per
square foot) to pass a test that many roofers who worked 30
years, in other states, can't pass, and learn all types of roofing
work, instead of just the kind they want to do, (result after
legislation: prices are 3 times higher and many people learn to
do their own roof in two hours. Of course, none of the then
existing Florida roofers had to take any test at all, and all the
finished roofs continued to be inspected after completion, as
before, indicating no need at all for prior testing.)

c. Dentists are required to have 9 years of education to do some
procedures that Alaska, New Zealand, and many other countries
allow with 2 years of training (with equal skill, as research proved),
as indicated in Exterior Link http://www.MedicalCountries.org
$1000 to $3000. U. S. root canals can cost as little $65 dollars
in India.

d. U. S., and Canadian Doctors and dentists are required to pass
tests that in many years, only 1/3 pass, and to have 4 years of
college before medical school while in most countries students
start medical school after high school, learn everything they need
to know, and thus get 4 more years of practice in their lifetime as
doctors, and U.S. technicians are prevented from doing simple
medical procedures that the Veterans Administration, and many
other countries encourage. (All this is how they, and the colluding
government, keep your prices high, get their treats, and eliminate
competition from low cost sources). My father, board certified in
2 specialties, would play golf 3 days a week while I , at 17 years
of age, would put a green liquid in his patients eyes, fold their
eye lid over and remove any irritating particles from these patient
eyes, free of change. (Anyone can do this with 2 minutes training,
and not need the 24 years of education he had. Other daily done
procedures are just a simple)

e. Legislators are now protecting brick-and-mortar schools from
competition by now requiring that school have a campus. (What
grass are they smoking?) Total spending on U. S. education,
from all sources, and including all levels is about 1.13 trillion
yearly, mostly for buildings and administration. Exterior link
http://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/role.html

f. U.S. citizens are taxed to support a military industrial complex
that consumes 6.61 times more of its dollars than the 2nd biggest
spending nation does. (661 billion for U. S. and 100 billion for
China). Just the cost of one air craft carrier, 5 billion, cost the
same as 104 years of 80 bachelor degree podcast courses).
Exterior Link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

g. Or, the U.S. Government could educate 2.8 billion
English, and Mandarin speaking people for up to 745
years with the $35.8 billion in Pell Grants that were
scheduled to educate only 9.1 million U.S. students for
1 year. ($35.800,000,000 / $48 million, (1 year Pell Grant
Funds / the yearly cost of 80 bachelor degree podcast
courses = 745+ years of college.) External Links

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_Grant

http://trends.collegeboard.org/student_aid/report_findings/indicator/310

(the above 2 link report different Pell Grant spending for the same years,)


It does not always pay to put yourself, your team, your state,
your country, your religion, always ahead of others, and the
earth. In the end YOU lose. Cooperation beats the hell out of
competition in this podcast case.

I like my country as much as you do but I am not blind! Is it
any wonder U.S. prices cannot compete with other countries,
and that the U.S, is loosing most of its industries because of
these anti-competitive practices???


Publishers could create $1 a year, and less bachelor degree & K-12 courses

Publishers could be contracted to yearly produce state and
federal government accredited podcast courses in the same
education specialty in which they currently produce textbooks.

Each superior, more complete podcast course would be in voice,
bold clear print, or braille, changeable to other languages with
each chapter being able of being instantly updated from new
knowledge, and from learning from the students question how
text could be improved to increase understanding. Software
could answer questions and provide lacking knowledge
indicated by student queries. E-book indexes could be linked
to text pages, interactive text to pronounced definitions, have
art work, and practice chapter tests.

A course accrediting agency could give the student credit as
each course is taken and passed at home, at their local high
school, or on a computer linked to anti-cheating software. After
each student has taken a test the large bank of final questions
would be remixed, and when the required number of courses
is passed each person would get their degree.

Universities could not afford and do not produce a course of
this quality for their few hundred people, but with group buying,
podcast education would have a quality not now available in any
University that could be listened to repeatedly. This would
dramatically reduce the cost and improve the quality of education
to people and their governments, and save trillions.

Ideally, these courses would not be copyrighted, could be
modified to suit the use of any people, country, business, or
person, thus have much greater utility, and not be required to
be totally created again and again for different users.

With 80 bachelor degree podcast courses covering many of
the needs of various college degrees, and 65 K-12 courses,
from kindergarten to 12 grade costing $87,000,000 @
$600,000 each, many peoples educational needs would be met
at a cost of only pennies with large cooperative buying by the
1.5 English speaking people or the 313,000,000 U.S. residents.


Very little of Endowment Funds go to Students. What
could YOU do to change this, or reduce student costs?

Total Value of U.S. Endowments to colleges and
Universities equals $411 billion, with 76 of these
institutions having total endowment assets of more
than one billion. Harvard University alone, has $32 billion.
The average payout to student's education is 4.6%
per year of the total endowment assets, with the
larger endowed colleges paying only 4.4% on average,
but some pay much less of their total endowed assets.
Students get very little of the money given. Exterior Links

Publishers Costs:

64% to 67% of the cost of a new textbook goes to the
publisher, 9% to 12% to the author, 2.5% to the freight
company, 9% to 22.7% to the store or college, and 12.5% to
the bookstore, (University of Phoenix converted to electronic
books years ago, to reduce costs and compete for students.)
Many publishers costs could be eliminated by countries,
states, cities, public and private school joining together to
select an author and produce the same online, open course
textbooks in the millions, which could be modified to satisfy
local requirements,and cost could be much, much, much less.

Textbook finding Suggestions From Students

1. Provide multiple copies of each college assigned
textbook in the library.

2. Students donate their used course text at the end of the
course to the library. (if the library will shelf your book)

3. Share your copy on different study days. Ask professors
to put their copy for students in the school library.

4. Search through the free OCW (online course ware) for
textbooks used in the course area of your interest, and learn
from that on line textbook used in the free course, so you will
have the knowledge you need in your textbook-less course:
Example: Calculus Online Textbook, (with instructors, manual,
guide and video, from "MIT OpenCourseWare")

5. Students, themselves should provide master lists of
online free textbooks in all subject categories.

6. Faculty should know and consider costs of their
assigning books and identify book costs in syllabi.
Students could inform professors that violate this rule.

7. Faculty should list books early so that students can
investigate all purchasing options, and avoid ordering new
editions when they do not contain significant changes from
past editions.

8. Buy books on the international market.

9. Gamble by not buying the required books.

10. Use on-campus bookstores as a resource to gather price
information and ISBN codes for early buying, for shopping
online.

11. Compare online bookstores, Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
eBay, Varsity Books, and eFollett.com.

12. Search each vendor individually or use a comparison
shopping service such as Best Book Buys (lets you
compare the availability of books from up to 20 bookstores,
including shipping, handling, and taxes), or Big Words.

13. Meet students in your major through campus clubs
organizations and buy books through those acquaintances
and friends.

14. Many of the classics such as Shakespeare's plays, are
available or free online at sites like ProjectGutenberg, that has
thousands of free e-book titles available for downloading.

15. Consider buying an older, used edition of a particular
textbook.

16. Some colleges have a book recycling bin outside their
bookstores, (suggest one).

17. Some colleges and alumni associations offer small
scholarships to help needy students with textbook costs.

18. Some textbook publishers offer online versions of
textbooks that students subscribe to for a semester or more
without having to buy a copy of the book.

19. Ask professors to use free, online, open-source
textbooks whenever academically appropriate. Online
textbooks-Pearson Education, which operates online as
SafariX Textbooks Online has online versions of some of its
titles. Several widely used economics textbooks are available
online at Aplia. Ask your professor if there is an online
version you need.

20. Check out the Student PIRGs- Public Interest Research
Groups: Exterior Link http://www.studentpirgs.org/ from
which many of these ideas came from.

21. Examples of some available open textbooks, which
generally are free, if used for noncommercial purposes, are
on this Website. External Link:
http://www.maketextbooksaffordable.com/
Copy and payse in search engine

22. Put the list of required texts in registration materials so
students would have time to shop.

23. Use a publishing house that offers books in the public
domain for $10 to $30s.

24.Free textbooks list  

http://www.studentpirgs.org/open-textbooks/catalog

 25. Lobby Congress to establish a grant
program for open textbook authors.

26. Promote open source, free source textbook with students
searching for such authors, (and giving professors lists.)

27. Provide your list of online free textbook sources which
others should add to.

28. There are 16,000+ U.S. school boards, duplicating the
work and decisions of each other (on buying, picking
book, and courses), could there be 1  or not more than
fifty and save billions of your tax dollars? (one per state)

29. Public, private schools, and different countries could
work together, hire authors, and publish identical textbooks,
by the millions, and cut costs by 90% or create open course
books that each country could modify to suit their own
preferences. Example: China, USA, India, Pakistan, and
Afghanistan all could use the same modified open course
textbooks, online or paper. (Make love, Not War!!)

3. (You) Create a College Problem Solving Think Tank
How else can students do anything they do? Use Internet
Group Sourcing (Group Brainstorming) to solve, and provide
ideas for other ways to do anything you do. Can you get to
school a different, cheaper way? Buy food the same way small
groceries do for 1/4 the cost, in boxes, and divide it with other
students, (Many of these suppliers will sell to you, and
frequently deliver, as I have already checked) Have a buying
coop, Rent a house with others, and reduce your rent cost by
more than half, but protect yourself by planning how to deal
with problem people. Are there IT solutions to deal with
parents, or grandparents to help them solve their problems?
Can you convince the CEO of the company you want to work
for that you can already perform needed tasks with your
current education? Start your own company, hire someone
with the needed educational credentials and hire yourself.
List everything you and others do and want to do, and find a
better way!!! Idea Example: Are some citizens willing to let a
student live rent free, for work that does not take much time
so you have time to study. Some house bound people need
people to shop and do other tasks that do not take much time.
(You have to check to find out and some years the answer
will be yes, or no. You could put an add in the paper or ask
the paper to take your add free.) Going to college, including
summers could cut some of your cost by 25%.
