| Abstract: | Bay View Analytics has been tracking awareness, adoption, use, and attitudes toward open educational resources (OER) in U.S. Higher Education since 2009. Changes observed during that time include: (1) OER Awareness amongst US. Higher Education faculty and administrators went from almost nonexistent in 2009, to 57% "Somewhat Aware," "Aware," or "Very Aware" in 2022; (2) The number of respondents who use OER materials as required courseware lags behind the metric for OER Awareness, but these levels also grew year over year; (3) OpenStax has become a viable alternative to commercial publishers; and (4) Faculty give OER materials higher marks for quality than they do for commercial alternatives. |
