Open Educational Resources: Becoming Mainstream. Research Brief
Seman, Julia E.; Seaman, Jeff
Bay View Analytics
Bay View Analytics has been tracking awareness, adoption, use, and attitudes toward open educational resources (OER) in U.S. Higher Education since 2009. Changes observed during that time include: (1) OER Awareness amongst US. Higher Education faculty and administrators went from almost nonexistent in 2009, to 57% "Somewhat Aware," "Aware," or "Very Aware" in 2022; (2) The number of respondents who use OER materials as required courseware lags behind the metric for OER Awareness, but these levels also grew year over year; (3) OpenStax has become a viable alternative to commercial publishers; and (4) Faculty give OER materials higher marks for quality than they do for commercial alternatives.
