CCCOER Collaboration
• H1: Use of OER leads to critical reflection by educators, with evidence of improvement in their practice.
• H2: Participation in OER pilots and programs leads to policy change at institutional level.
• Methodology: Teacher interviews and survey, accompanied by analysis of variations in policy. Identification of pilot activities across CCCOER member to select sources of performance data.
Additional Hypotheses
• H3: Open education models lead to more equitable access to education, serving a broader base of learners than traditional education
• H4: OER adoption at an institutional level leads to financial benefits for students and/or institutions
