OER in the Classroom
• Research Design– Implemented open-source, online text in
Spring 2015 introductory psychology course– Compared student performance with students
using traditional paper text – Examined final grades and student
satisfaction survey results

OER in the Classroom
• Participants– N = 68
• 34- Traditional text group• 34- Open-source, online text group

OER in the Classroom
• Materials– Traditional paper text
• Myers' Psychology in Everyday Life, Cost = $100
– Online, open-source text• Stangor's Introduction to Psychology, Cost = Free

OER in the Classroom
• Findings– No significant differences in grades – Students who used the open-source, online text were
more likely to agree with the following statements:• "I like the idea of a free online textbook."• "I prefer using the free online textbook versus buying a
traditional textbook for this course."• "I like the idea of not buying a textbook for this course."• "I would still like to have a traditional paper textbook to use in
addition to the online textbook in this course."

OER in the Classroom
• Challenges– Finding appropriate open-source, online text– Adjusting to online text– Lack of experience with OER in classroom
(for students and instructor)
