A responsive approach to OER - RUANDA GARTH-MCCULLOUGH, RICHARD SEBASTIAN AND STACEY SOUTHER, Community College Daily

Spurred by the shift to online learning during the pandemic and ongoing efforts by states, institutions, philanthropies and individual faculty members to make learning materials more accessible, affordable and responsive to students’ experiences and needs, nearly one in four instructors (22%) used OER in fall 2022, up nearly fivefold since 2016.
