Barriers to Faculty Adoption
• Faculty don’t know where to find open textbooks• Faculty don’t understand the urgency of student financial
stress, and how it can impact students academically• Faculty aren’t aware that open textbooks are an option• Faculty don’t know what open textbooks are• Faculty confuse open textbooks with electronic textbooks

Looking ahead…1. Build institutional capacity to enable support for faculty adoption of
open textbooks.2. Produce 50 additional OER resources over the next 3 years, through
ancillary resources, open textbooks, openly licensed guides and materials.
3. Engage with the BC post-secondary system to increase commitment to adopt and adapt open textbooks.
4. Facilitate provincial, national, and international leadership and collaboration in OER.
5. Ensure the sustainability of the collection.
