OER Adoption
Replacing whatever was previously in the “Required Materials” section of your syllabus with OER
High Impact OER Adoption
Adoption that:1. Improves affordability, 2. Improves student success, 3. Invigorates pedagogy, and4. Does it at scale

Textbook Pricing in Context
One Month Access to… Costs…Netflix – 20k Movies / TV Episodes $7.99 / monthSpotify – 15M Songs $9.99 / month
CourseSmart – 1 Biology Textbook $19.67 / month
There is a direct relationship between textbook costs and student success
60%+ do not purchase textbooks at some point due to cost
35% take fewer courses due to textbook cost
31% choose not to register for a course due to textbook cost
23% regularly go without textbooks due to cost
14% have dropped a course due to textbook cost

Fischer, Hilton, Robinson, and Wiley
Journal of Computing in Higher Education (2015)
Participants
• 4909 treatment• 11,818 control• 50 different undergraduate courses • 130 teachers• 10 institutions
Method
Quasi-experimental design with:• Propensity score matched groups• Dependent variables: Completion; C or Better;
Credits Enrolled This Term; Credits Enrolled Next Term
• Independent variable: Textbook condition• 3 covariates: age, gender, and race

Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function
Mani, Mullainathan, Shafir, and Zhao
Science (2013)
Study Design
Participants• Shoppers in a New Jersey mall• Sugarcane farmers in India
Test cognitive capacity during financial stress• Thinking through car repairs ($150 / $1500)• Before and after harvest
Results
• Considering a financial decision affects people's performance on unrelated spatial and reasoning tasks.
• Lower-income individuals performed poorly if the repairs were expensive but did fine if the cost was low.
• Sugarcane farmers performed the same tasks better after harvest than before.

3. Rethink your assessments
“What does open allow me to do?”
Disposable Assignments
Students hate doing themYou hate grading themHuge wasted opportunity
US undergraduates spend approximately 40 million hours
doing homework every year.
Renewable Assignments
Students see value in doing themYou see value in grading themThe work is valuable

Are enabled by the open nature of OER

OER-based Degrees
When elective and required courses adopt OER so a student can graduate without ever being asked to buy a textbook
OER-based Degrees
In summary…
Open Educational Resources
1. Free and unfettered access
2. Perpetual, irrevocable 5R permissions
“Closed Until Proven Open”
1. Online resources without an explicit copyright statement
