The document discusses the implementation and impact of open educational resources (OER), emphasizing their role in improving affordability, pedagogy, and student success. It highlights the 5Rs of OER—retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute—and provides statistical insights into the benefits of OER over traditional textbooks. The presentation calls for the strategic support and investment necessary for scaling OER initiatives in educational institutions.

- 27. Open Educational Resources (OER)
- 28. Which “open”?
- 29. open ≈ free
- 30. the internet is already free to read / watch / listen to
- 31. open = a free grant of permissions
- 32. • Make and own a copyRetain • Use in a wide range of waysReuse • Adapt, modify, and improveRevise • Combine two or moreRemix • Share with othersRedistribute The 5Rs
- 33. 1. retain + redistribute = download and share for free 2. revise + remix = edit, improve, customize, collaborate 3. reuse = class, lab, study group, etc. Implications of the 5Rs
- 35. • Make and own a copyRetain • Use in a wide range of waysReuse • Adapt, modify, and improveRevise • Combine two or moreRemix • Share with othersRedistribute The 5Rs
- 36. Open A free grant of the 5R permissions
- 37. “Faux-pen” 1. Free (but gated) access 2. All rights reserved PLUS Terms of Use
- 38. Cost to Students Permissions for Faculty and Students Commercial Textbooks Expensive Restrictive “The Web” MOOCs Library Resources “Free” Restrictive Open Educational Resources Free 5Rs
- 43. OER Examples Full courses, complete textbooks, chapters, modules, videos, simulations, assessments, syllabi, etc.
- 48. OER Adoption Replacing whatever was previously in the “Required Materials” section of your syllabus with OER
- 49. High Impact OER Adoption 1. Improves affordability, 2. Invigorates pedagogy, 3. Improves student success, and 4. Does it at scale
- 50. High Impact OER Adoption 1. Improves affordability, 2. Invigorates pedagogy, 3. Improves student success, and 4. Does it at scale
- 53. Textbook Pricing in Context One Month Access to… Costs… Netflix – 20k Movies / TV Episodes $7.99 / month Spotify – 15M Songs $9.99 / month VitalSource – 1 Biology Textbook $28.37 / month
- 54. A Wizard of Earthsea Textbooks written in disappearing ink
- 55. “Disappearing Ink” Strategies Buyback, rental, e-books online subscriptions
- 56. The Academic Costs of Textbooks 48% take fewer courses 26% drop a course 21% withdraw from a course 66% go without textbooks 37% earn a poor grade
- 57. Retain and Redistribute Solve the affordability problem
- 58. High Impact OER Adoption 1. Improves affordability, 2. Invigorates pedagogy, 3. Improves student success, and 4. Does it at scale
- 59. Open Pedagogy Pedagogy distinguished by permissions?
- 60. “What does open allow me to do?”
- 61. Open Pedagogy • People learn through the things they do • Copyright restricts what we’re allowed to do • Copyright restricts how we can learn • Open permits us to learn in new ways
- 64. Disposable Assignments Students hate doing them Faculty hate grading them Huge missed opportunity
- 65. US college students spend approximately 40 million hours doing homework every year
- 66. Renewable Assignments Students see broader value in doing them Faculty see broader value in grading them The work adds value to the world
- 67. Everyone wants to feel like their work matters
- 69. PM4ID
- 70. Renewable Assignments Are enabled by the 5R permissions

- 89. Research Context • 256 faculty at eight US colleges • 194 taught using only TPM • 48 taught using only OER • 14 taught some courses using TPM, others using OER
- 90. Methodology • Review college bookstore website for each course • Select the cheapest new print or new digital price from the bookstore, Amazon, and other options
- 91. Results • On average, required TPM for a course cost US $90.61 per student • Faculty received services supporting OER adoption valued at US $5 per student • OER were 94% less expensive than TPM

- 98. High Impact OER Adoption 1. Improves affordability, 2. Invigorates pedagogy, 3. Improves student success, and 4. Does it at scale
- 99. Scale Vertically “OER Degree” - Convert to OER at least one section of every course needed to earn a specific degree
- 100. Scale Vertically OER degree initiatives like ATD (38), VCCS Zx23 (23), CA legislature (20) For example, Housatonic CC
- 102. Scale Horizontally Work to convert all sections of highest enrolling courses to OER For example, Salt Lake CC
- 103. Scale Horizontally An “Open General Education Pathway” benefits all students on campus, not just students in one degree
- 104. Successful Scaling Requires strategic support and investment
- 105. OER is “free like sunshine”
