Description
Current 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.
