- 15. “Among her findings, students with loans had a more positive perception of the OER, and in this particular course, students using this OER did better than students who had used a traditional textbook in her same course the prior semester.” https://pressbooks.education/news/2018/08/university-of-texas-at- arlington-kicks-off-oer-program-with-eight-books-in-development/

- Not many people know the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights has language embedded within it concerning the importance of equal access to higher education.
- In a decade, higher education failed 2.4 million Americans. These are students who did everything “right” but cost stopped them from completing. Capable and qualified- BUT financially strapped. Data from The Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED529499.pdf
- Budgets rather than spent – WHY do you think we use that language? Students employ strategies to cope. Note: no consistency in reporting (no formula stipulated). Data from College Board https://trends.collegeboard.org/college-pricing/figures-tables/average-estimated-undergraduate-budgets-2018-19

- We encourage our practitioners of open education to continue seeking ways to engage with and contribute to the community. For example: Two of our UTA CARES grantees submitted applications this year to become OER Research Fellows with the Open Education Group. Fellows are given professional development funding to attend the Open Education Conference, held every fall, and provided support in conducting empirical research of OER. We are delighted that Sharareh Kermanshachi, a faculty member in the Dept. of Civil Engineering, is in the 2018-2019 cohort of OER Research Fellows. Her research for the fellowship will build on findings from the first semester she piloted her OER.
- Libraries purchased access to PressbooksEDU to support OER creation on campus.
- Multiple download options available, including PDF, MOBI, EPUB, allowing students both online and offline access on any device. https://uta.pressbooks.pub/onlinelearning/
- Libraries helped Division of Student Success transition customized textbook to Pressbooks so students could access digital content for free. In its first semester of use this fall, the OER will impact over 3,000 students and result in approximately $75,000 in cost savings for incoming first-time-in-college students.
- Instructor + student collaboration. Helped students locate and attribute openly licensed images to include with instructor-authored text. Used for first time this fall in biology labs. Digital format available at no costs, and students can choose to legally print their own at low cost. Professionally bound version available through UTA Bookstore for ~ $15.
