A Mul;-‐Ins;tu;onal Study of the Impact of Open Textbook Adop;on on the Learning Outcomes of Post-‐secondary Students Fischer, Hilton, Robinson, and Wiley Accepted in the Journal of Compu1ng in Higher Educa1on

Par;cipants

•  4909 treatment •  11,818 control •  50 different undergraduate courses •  130 teachers •  10 ins;tu;ons

Credits Enrolled This Term; Next Term •  Independent variable: Textbook condi;on •  3 covariates: including age, gender, and race

•  Simple subs;tu;on Replace

•  Objec;ves as TOC Realign

•  Open pedagogy Rethink

Kinds of OER Adop;on

replace

realign

rethink

“what does open allow me to do?”

Disposable Assignments

Students hate doing them You hate grading them Huge waste of ;me and energy

Renewable Assignments

Students see value in doing them You see value in grading them The world is a beZer place at the end

Renewable Assignments

Are enabled by the open nature of OER

The Remix Hypothesis

Change in Student Learning

Replace Small

Realign Moderate

Rethink Large
