6. Faculty Survey Results Marilyn Billings My teaching needs were met by the Open Educational Resources implemented in the course. (4.27) Student performance improved compared to past semesters when a traditional textbook was used. (4.36) Student engagement increased compared to past semesters when a traditional textbook was used. (4.09) On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest

7. Faculty Comments The students are much more satisfied with the new materials; they are more engaged and more prepared than I have ever seen them. Grades have improved drastically since using [Open Educational Resources] in my course … the support from the Libraries was outstanding. My students are reading more, they are much more organized, and they are happy that they no longer need to spend so much money on materials. I was highly satisfied with the resources provided by the Libraries, as are my students. I received excellent technical support from the Libraries.

8. Outcomes Intended Outcomes 50 faculty + over 85 classes taught = over $1 million saved for students Course evaluations show same quality of student satisfaction, or better Service points on campus are partnering for student success Unexpected Outcomes Instructors using new teaching styles and flipping their classrooms Increased awareness on campus and queries from instructors about OERs Professors report students better prepared for class and more engaged Created resources add to available open education resources for everyone Relationships between service point partners are stronger Student involvement and passion are stimulating change

9. Lessons Learned: What Worked Value of mini grants and peer review Meet faculty where they are – create cohorts Capitalize on library strengths and value of existing services Leverage complementary strengths of the partners for new initiatives

10. And What Didn’t, or “Challenges” Lack of knowledge by faculty Time consuming to find or develop OE content Lack of search tool or comprehensive catalog May lack prepared quizzes and other content Students may prefer print Time commitment from partners Getting beyond the “pilot” phase
