OER Awareness Among Faculty Gaining Ground - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

The use of open educational resources (OER) could be at a turning point: It's beginning to shake off its fringe reputation and gain greater recognition among faculty and department heads. A recent Babson Survey Research Group study found "steady growth in awareness" among these individuals and predicted that adoption growth could accelerate. The study analyzed responses from over 4,000 academics and found that 46 percent of faculty now know what OER is, up from 34 percent in 2014-2015. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2019/01/09/oer-awareness-among-faculty-gaining-ground.aspx
