Open Educational Resources Pilot Projects Psychology Teacher Attitudes Student Attitudes Cost Effectiveness Outcomes of Education Academic Libraries Undergraduate Students Textbooks Student Costs Partnerships in Education Copyrights Educational Quality College Faculty Commuting Students Media Adaptation Handheld Devices Electronic Learning Access to Education This case study describes the library's experience of collaborating with an undergraduate Psychology Department at Touro College to integrate open textbooks into their program. We discuss the pedagogical changes as well as explore the impact of Open Educational Resources (OER) on students' savings, their academic outcomes and perceptions of OER. Furthermore, we highlight the successes and shortcomings in having the library as a central OER partner. To measure the results, we surveyed students and conducted a faculty survey and a focus group, in addition to analyzing the students' final grades. This pilot program delivered strong results. The students' perception was very positive, and faculty's opinions on the textbooks used were mixed. Some professors felt that the textbook lacked important content, but because of its openness, they added their own content to the book. Students enrolled in OER courses performed better than those enrolled in the same courses using a commercial textbook. |
