This
white paper provides an overview of the development and growth of Open
Educational Resources (OER) in American higher education, followed by an
analysis of the approximately 1,400 responses to a survey on course materials
adoption that Choice deployed to faculty and instructors across the United
States. It examines faculty behavior for discovering, evaluating, and selecting
instructional material, and adds new insights on barriers specific to discovery
resources and faculty adoption of OER.
