About the Project
• Funded by William & Flora Hewlett Foundation for two years
• Two professors lead four researchers among a team of ten
• Tasked with building the most comprehensive picture of OER impact
• Organised by eleven research hypotheses
• Working across different educational sectors
• Collaboration model
• Global reach but with a USA focus

Rationale: why evidence of OER impact?
![Page 10: Open Educational Resources: Impact, Evidence & Narrative](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/5590ed901a28ab20748b46d2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Filtering data according to sector, hypothesis & polarity
Framework for comparing disparate evidence types
Collaborative research, analysis & dissemination
Openness in action: openly licensed research instruments, data
Effective evidence-based decision-
making and advocacy
![Page 11: Open Educational Resources: Impact, Evidence & Narrative](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/5590ed901a28ab20748b46d2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Keyword Hypothesis
Performance OER improve student performance/satisfaction
Openness People use OER differently from other online materials
Access OER widen participation in education
Retention OER can help at-risk learners to finish their studies
Reflection OER use leads educators to reflect on their practice
Finance OER adoption brings financial benefits for students/institutions
Indicators Informal learners use a variety of indicators when selecting OER
Support Informal learners develop their own forms of study support
Transition OER support informal learners in moving to formal study
Policy OER use encourages institutions to change their policies
Assessment Informal assessments motivate learners using OER

UNESCO Mapping Project (2012)http://unescochair.athabascau.ca/oer-mapping-exercise
• Mapping to raise awareness of OER
• Tracking complexity, identifying major players & actions
• Community building, communication and advocacy
• Localised data with centralised quality control
OLnet Evidence Hub (2011-2012)http://ci.olnet.org/
• Explore and debate key challenges for OER movement
• Collective intelligence: raise questions, propose solutions
• Sharing relevant web resources
