Survey Explores Faculty Behaviors, Perceptions in Teaching, Research and Publishing Practices - Tiffany Pennamon, Diverse Education

Faculty attitudes are beginning to shift around the use of open educational resources (OER), scholarly search engines such as Google Scholar and cloud-based data storage services, even though there is some divergence between their attitudes and actual behaviors in some areas. Those are a few findings from a recently released Ithaka S+R survey of nearly 11,000 faculty members at four-year institutions across the U.S. Younger faculty displayed a “substantial interest” (roughly 60 percent) in using OER for instructional purposes, compared to their older counterparts. However, older faculty tend to actually use and create more OER in their teaching, Wolff-Eisenberg said https://diverseeducation.com/article/143387/
