SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-gb:Factors that contribute to Faculty adoption of OER in the United States\, a mixed-methods study. [1579]
DESCRIPTION:Room: Seminar 4\nTrack: Inst/Org Politics\nThis session will review the status and findings of a mixed-methods research study that examines the adoption process and use of OER by faculty in higher education in the United States. Faculty that use OER and have support from administration extend the institution's outreach\, augment collaborations among colleagues\, and benefit the global community (Perkins\, 2010). However\, the extent of those benefits depends on the very donations of intellectual energy and time faculty and administration are willing to contribute (2010). The study explained in this session seeks to describe the innovation and adoption process of OER\, which includes the attributes faculty believe constitute a valuable and sustainable OER and what instructional supports are meaningful to the adoption of OER. New innovations that improve student learning\, are efficient\, and save money are prevalent in higher education. Now is the time to find out why some faculty support and fully adopt OER.\n\nCurrent research\, such as this mixed method study\, performed in the United States are putting the innovation and adoption of OER into a new context and support future innovation and adoption. This study found five major themes which are consistent with findings from the Babson Group’s (Allen & Seaman\, 2016) survey of 3000 higher education faculty members and a previous survey of Kaleidoscope Open Course Initiative faculty (Bliss\, Robinson\, Hilton and Wiley\, 2013) .   This session will review the study findings and first hand faculty experiences with innovation and adoption of OER in the United States.\n\nAllen\, I. & Seaman\, J.
