Open Educational Resources: Increasing Student Learning and Academic Freedom
The document discusses the impact of open educational resources (OER) on student success and costs, highlighting how traditional textbook prices hinder access to education. It presents data indicating that OER can significantly reduce textbook costs, resulting in improved academic outcomes, such as higher completion rates and better performance on standardized tests. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of the 5R activities—retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute—associated with OER in fostering academic freedom and success.
