- 28. OER Usage and Savings • 33 Soci faculty at COC, almost half are using OER in their classes • OER in three courses, 25 sections total • 30-35 students in each course • Assuming a new, for-profit text would be about $100, students have saved about $75,000 this semester
- 29. Latest research shows…. • 17% of COC faculty currently use OER materials • 87.6% of those using OER say they are satisfied or extremely satisfied with the content • 88.7% not currently using using OER are interested in learning more about it
- 30. Chapters for Introduction to Sociology Aging Crime and Social Control Culture Deviance Education Family Politics and Economy Popular Culture and Media Populations and Urbanization Race and Ethnicity Religion Sex and Gender Social Groups and Collective Behavior Social Stratification Social Theories Socialization Sociological Beginnings Sociologists Doing Research The Sociological Imagination Plus: Glossary & Getting Through School
- 31. Advantages and Disadvantages for Students Advantages: • It’s free! • Accessible to EVERYONE from the first day of class • Students can save, print, email, share files without restrictions • There are no heavy textbooks to be carried around or forgotten • Text can be accessed by most mobile devices, so most students have access to text all the time Disadvantages: • Students have to print it out if they want a paper copy
- 32. Advantages and Disadvantages for Professors Advantages: • No orders need to go through the bookstore • Able to adapt the textbook to lecture, not the other way around • Examples, photos, stats are updated to stay current • Standardized content to begin • Faculty become intimately familiar with content • Chapters can be used in any order • Student success, retention, and participation goes up Disadvantages: • Initial time investment and revision cycles • Chapters can be edited by individual instructors as well, leading to a loss of standardization • Potential loss of big publisher resources

- 36. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is an Equal Opportunity employer and educator. Todd Digby @todddigby System Director of Academic Technology Open Textbook Initiative
- 37. Background The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system • 31 institutions with 54 campuses • 24 technical and community colleges and seven state universities • 430,000 students
- 38. Background 2013 MN Legislative Performance Goal Lower cost associated with textbooks through the increased usage of OERs
- 39. Open textbook awareness GRADE LEVEL, 2014 – Tracking Online Education in the United States - http://onlinelearningconsortium.org/2014Survey
- 40. Open textbook initiative • Awareness • Locating materials • Quality concerns • Faculty support
- 42. Open textbook initiative Faculty participation by discipline Accounting 6 Biology 20 Mathematics 19 Psychology 7
- 44. Open textbook initiative Initial results Already Adopted 22% Planning on Adopting 47% Undecided 28% Do not plan on adopting 3%
- 45. Faculty perspective “The savings is the major part for my decision. I really like my current textbook for Math 97 and Math 98, but the cost is becoming too high for my students. The textbook that I reviewed could certainly be adapted for my needs.” “I would like to know more about open online HW systems for math classes, and perhaps be involved in creating them.” “The open textbook project is terrific. My only concern is adopting one that doesn't have some of the publisher online study materials.”
- 46. Next steps • Develop a campus/departmental workgroup that involves multiple stakeholders across campus • Ensure that faculty are supported in their efforts • Facilitate campus-based peer review efforts
