351 students completed survey about their use of OER
• When students were asked if the OER textbook chapter(s) were better than the traditional, 42% said the OER textbook as better, 39% said they were about the same, 11% rated the textbook as worse than the traditional textbook and 8% declined to answer.
• Of the 351 students in the survey, 71 printed the textbook and 209 used a PDF
• Students find OER Textbooks to be readable with respect to organization, format, graphics and examples used

351 students completed survey about their use of OER
• 16% of students wanted to have the option to purchase a printed copy of the textbook from the bookstore for a small fee (10% of students wanted to print the textbook themselves)
• The predominant platform for reading e-textbooks is a laptop computer (only 89 of 351 students reported reading from their cell phones)
• 100% of the students in the study wanted to use OER textbooks in the future and would recommend the use of OER to friends

16 faculty shared perceptions about their use of OER
• Seven faculty of sixteen felt that the OER textbook was superior to the traditional textbook for the course. Five faculty rated the OER as equivalent to the traditional textbook.
• Faculty were not as positive about the support materials (PowerPoints, Test banks) available with the OER textbooks. Half of the faculty felt that the support materials lacked quality. 25% of faculty felt that implementing the support materials took a significant amount of time. In their comments, the biggest comment made by faculty was about the need for support materials or the amount of time they spent in developing them for this adoption.
