Open Educational Resources (OER)

Pilot Program, Fall 2015 Final Report

Assessments Conducted by Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL)

Catherine Overson, Associate Director, CETL

Daniel Pyburn, Project, Director, CETL

Assessments Targeted Four Central Areas:

1. Textbook Cost Savings

2. Student Perceptions of the OER Materials

3. Student Learning Outcomes

4. Faculty Perceptions of the OER Pilot Program

Report Prepared by:

Catherine Overson, Associate Director, CETL

February 9, 2016

(3)

Six faculty members participated in the Fall 2016 OER pilot program. We asked faculty: “If you

were to use a textbook in your course, which one would you use?”

We used faculty’s recommended text and associated cost (current as of the February 9, 2016 date

of this report) to compile the total potential cost savings for their student enrollment. The cost

savings presented below reflect the assumption that all enrolled students would have purchased a

hardcopy (hardcover, when available) of the required textbook. Given that we have no way of

tracking

1) whether students would have purchased a text at all

2) whether they would have borrowed a text

3) if purchased, the format of the text (hardcover, paperback, or online)

4) where they might have made a purchase

5) whether a selling agent negotiated a special price for a text

our cost savings is documented in terms of an estimation of the maximum amount of savings.

MATERIALS

CETL staff met with individual faculty to tailor the student perception survey to their course, and

the OER materials they used during their course leading to the first exam. Perception surveys

were updated as needed for each subsequent exam. Some questions were constant to all, such as

accessibility and ease of navigation of materials, and other questions unique to the course were

based on particular OER materials, for example, videos, TED Talks, websites, and online book

chapters.

In order to reduce bias, students responded to the surveys prior to receiving feedback on their

exam scores either immediately after exams (paper and pencil or online surveys) or within 48

hours after taking the exam (online surveys).

Overall student response to the materials was positive: In addition to the many positive

comments about the cost savings, they generally reported that the accessibility and navigation

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Faculty ambassadors had each taught the same course as their Fall 2015 OER course using

traditional textbooks within the prior two semesters. Faculty reported that although some exam

questions necessarily differed this semester corresponding to OER content, the exam format

(with one course exception: Contemporary Conservation Issues) and rigor remained constant.

We computed descriptive statistics for student exam performance for both sections (prior section

with traditional texts and the Fall 2015 section with OER materials) for each of the courses in the

OER pilot program. Mean exam scores indicate student learning for course material leading to

each of the exams. Exam scores were generally comparable (means plus or minus 5 points) for

each of the two sections, with the exception of three courses where mean exam scores for one

Faculty Perceptions of Their OER

Experience

Faculty ambassadors used a variety of OER resources, with the majority reporting having used

videos and websites. Overwhelmingly, the faculty reported that the various support staff were

helpful in locating the many resources for their courses. In addition, faculty reported that

although the amount of associated work to develop and adapt their courses for the OER pilot

program was appreciable, the time spent was not unanticipated, was manageable, and was

viewed as an investment with generally positive returns regarding pedagogy and student

feedback. Overall, the faculty ambassadors reported that they would continue to use OER
