The 5Rs
40.
41. Open
1. Free and unfettered access
2. Perpetual, irrevocable copyright
permissions
50. Infrastructure is “resources that
create benefits for society
primarily through the facilitation
of downstream productive
activities.”
-- Brett Frischmann
58. “Don't EVER make the mistake that
you can design something better than
what you get from ruthless massively
parallel trial-and-error with a
feedback cycle. That's giving your
intelligence _much_ too much credit.”
-- Linus Torvalds
69. “Don't EVER make the mistake that
you can design something better than
what you get from ruthless massively
parallel trial-and-error with a
feedback cycle. That's giving your
intelligence _much_ too much credit.”
-- Linus Torvalds
70. “Don't EVER make the mistake that
you can design something better than
what you get from ruthless massively
parallel trial-and-error with a
feedback cycle. That's giving your
intelligence _much_ too much credit.”
-- Linus Torvalds
76. Method
Quasi-experimental design with:
• Treatment and Control Group
• Pre and Post Test
• Dependent variable: Score on 2012
statewide standardized science exam
• Independent variable: Textbook condition
• 15 Covariates: including age, gender, special
education, English language proficiency,
2011 test data, 2011 GPA, and race
77. Outcome: State Standardized Test
• IRT scaled scores increased with
open textbooks, p < .001
• Multiple r squared = .635
(variance in scores accounted for
in our model)
78. A Multi-Institutional Study of the
Impact of Open Textbook Adoption
on the Learning Outcomes of Post-
secondary Students
Fischer, Hilton, Robinson, and Wiley
Accepted in JCHE
80. Method
Quasi-experimental design with:
• Propensity Score Matching
• Post Test Only
• Dependent variables: Completion; C or Better;
Credits Enrolled This Term; Next Term
• Independent variable: Textbook condition
• 3 covariates: including age, gender, and race
82. Credits Taken
Semester Treatment Control Result
Fall 13.29 11.14 t (8101) = 27.81 p < .01
Winter 10.71 9.16 F(1, 6440) = 154.08, p <.01)
83. Mad, Glad, Sad, Rad:
A Framework for Evaluating the
Academic Return on Investment in
Textbooks and Other Educational
Materials
Wiley, Hilton, Fischer, and Puente
Submitted
97. The Remix Hypothesis
Type of OER Adoption
Replace “As-is” adopt an open textbook
Realign Remix OER with learning objs /
compentencies as TOC
Rethink Realign (as above) and
reconsider assessment strategy
115. The Z-Degree
REMOVING TEXTBOOK COSTS AS A
BARRIER TO STUDENT SUCCESS
THROUGH AN OER-BASED CURRICULUM
Decreased cost to
graduate by 25%
Increased
pedagogical flexibility
Improved course
completion rates
116. In Summary
• Don’t settle for “affordable”
• Improve student outcomes
• Improve affordability
• Improve design / academic freedom
By using open educational resources
