Hi Sagi, Kfir,
The arguments for using a standard are:

1. to ensure the longevity (i.e. 30 years) of the materials
2. to ensure interoperability - that is, to make the materials usable to other programs in other environments

As to the pre-proposal itself - the time frame is not realistic, even for a company with a lot of experience in the field. The cost will be enormous. They should instead do a phase-in with new course material.

Hi,
The Open University decided to open some of her books to the public.
My friend want to give some arguments why they should publish the books in
open standards.
Please post some arguments that can persuade the head of this project to
go Open.

Thanks,
Kfir
