Only roughly one-third of faculty report that they are aware of open educational resources (OER)
- Faculty members overwhelmingly select their own teaching resources for use in their courses.
- Efficacy and quality are the most important criteria in this selection.
- Faculty at two-year schools use OER at greater rates than those at four-year schools.
- Faculty see OER as harder to find than traditional educational resources.
- Most faculty not currently using OER report that they expect to use it within three years.
