摘要：Despite increased development and dissemination, there has been
very little empirical research on Open Educational Resources (OER). Teachers
and students involved in a large-scale OER initiative at eight community
colleges across the United States were given a detailed questionnaire aimed at
uncovering their perceptions of the cost, outcomes, uses and perceptions of
quality of the OER used in their courses. Teachers and students alike reported
significant cost savings and various pedagogical and learning impacts due to the
implementation of OER in the classroom. In addition, most students and
teachers perceived their OER to be at least equal in quality to traditional
textbooks they had used in the past. Implications for further research are
discussed.
