Latest Trends in Open Textbook Research
Panel Discussion
Challenges to Open Textbook Use
Open textbook adoption and use
Effort required for alignment to accessibility standards
Faculty misunderstandings about quality of OER materials
Lack of knowledge on impact of OER on teaching &
learning
Lack of professional development and technology in schools to support OER use
Adaptability, interactivity, and consistency of open textbooks support curriculum development
I didn’t know or think about this before I adopted the book... I’ve changed around the book so it’s in the order I like. I’ve added material to it. I like making it fit to the way I want to
teach the course.
Benefits of Open Textbook Use
Enhances faculty’s ability to support interactive learning processes
I’m now offering students the ability to interact with information and their interaction is what leads the classroom. It’s not just the method of information that’s being changed, it provides the opportunity for students to access more original
material in a way that promotes interactive learning.
Benefits of Open Textbook Use
Enhances faculty’s ability to support students’ metacognitive processes
Now I send emails to my students with a URL link to the chapter they’re supposed to read. It helps keep them on track
with where we are in the course.
Benefits of Open Textbook Use
Facilitates faculty collaboration and leads faculty towards advocacy
My colleagues and I collaborated to integrate the book with our existing syllabi and course curriculum…now we meet
regularly to talk about lesson plans.
