Leveraging OER during COVID-19

OER not only saves students substantial out-of-pocket costs, but, in our current climate, they also offer significant advantages to help protect the health and well-being of students, particularly those who depend on traditional campus services, such as the library, or share physical resources with their classmates for access to their required learning materials.

This presentation will review recent research that demonstrates how OER usage increases student success metrics like GPA and lowers DFW rates, particularly for Pell-eligible and non-white students. As we examine the timely advantages OER can offer students, we’ll also discuss how this openly licensed content enables faculty to practice more legal and pedagogical flexibility and innovation teaching in an online environment.
