How Open Education Can Work for HCC
• Drive down the overall cost of college for students
• Improve throughputs and student success• Increase student engagement• Connect students with their fields, professions,
and communities• Reinvigorate faculty engagement with teaching• Build collaboratives with other public colleges
and universities• Build a case for public funding of higher
education
Book Costs Move Off the Charts
• 56% of students pay more than $300 per semester
• 20% pay more than $500 per semester (that’s equal to 56% of tuition at HCC!)
• Students worry more about paying for books than they worry about paying for college.
Effects of Textbook Prices• 67% did not purchase
a required textbook• 38% earned a poor grade• 20% failed a course• 48% occasionally or
frequently took fewer courses
• 26% dropped a course• 21% withdrew from a course
2016 Survey of 22,000 students, Florida Virtual Campus, comprised of the

Student Success“students who use OER perform significantly better on the course throughput rate than their peers who use traditional textbooks, in both face-to-face and online courses that use OER.” (2016)
Throughput Ratean aggregate of:drop rates, withdrawal rates, C or better rates.

Quality“The classes with traditional published textbooks I study and memorize to pass tests. In this class I have a greater appreciation for the things I learned because I actually experienced the material and lesson as opposed to simply passing a test. This knowledge will last a lifetime.”

Public Higher Education
We can’t save public higher education by privatizing it.
Instead, let’s focus on access, on connected learning, and on sharing our resources.
Instead of competitors and comparators, we will build a network of collaborators.
Open Education offers us real strategies to increase student success and empowerment, engage learners with the world outside the college walls, and invite the public to share in the knowledge commons.
