Related Claims¶

• The majority of faculty and students who have used OER had a positive experience and would do so again. — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• In direct comparisons of OER and commercial textbooks, a strong majority of participants report OER are as good or better. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Synthesized studies of OER in college courses found academic outcomes comparable to traditional textbooks and positive perceptions among students and instructors — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Across 2002-2018, OER efficacy research consistently shows that OER does not harm student learning, with a small positive impact. — related
• In studies comparing ratings from separate groups of OER users and CT users, results were mixed: two studies favored CT, two favored OER, and one showed similar ratings. — related
