• Quasi-experimental design
• Propensity-score matched groups
• 16,727 students taking 15 courses at 10 institutions
• OER students:
– Lower withdrawal rates
– More likely to pass with a C- or better
– Enrolled in more courses (current & subsequent semesters)

45. I would not have bought the text book for
this course because it's an elective. I
would have possibly walked away with a
C, now I might actually get an A-
It is easily accessible and convenient.
Material is easy to understand and follow
I personally really like the convenience of having the
complete set of chapters on my computer and even
accessible from my phone if I need it. I like that I don't
have to lug around another text book
It's free and it's a great money saver

52. It’s not only about
access to knowledge.
It’s about access to
knowledge
creation.

54. …it turns them into ‘containers’ to be ‘filled’ by the teacher. The more
completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is. The more
meekly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students
they are.
Education thus becomes the act of depositing, in which the students are
the depositories and the teacher is the depositor.
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by
those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they
consider to know nothing.
Paulo Freire, 1970, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

57. The LMS is a piece of administrative software. There’s that
word “management” in there that sort of gives it away . . .
that this software that purports to address questions about
teaching and learning but that really works to “manage” and
administer, in turn often circumscribing pedagogical
possibilities.
Audrey Watters, 2014, Un-fathomable: The Hidden History of Ed-Tech

66. Why have students
answer questions when
they can write them?

74. “If we emphasize the consequences of differential access, we
see one facet of the digital divide; if we ask about how these
consequences are produced, we are asking about
digital redlining”
