History
• Intro to Sociology text was written by Paul Hammond and Ron Cheney of Utah Valley University
• Underwent two rounds of editing and revisions by two Sociology faculty members at College of the Canyons in 2010. By 2012 two more faculty joined and made editorial contributions
• Marriage and Family text was edited and launched with the four faculty members
• Texts are updated, edited for content and relevant (local, timely) examples and pictures are added each academic year
![Page 25: The Growing Community of College OER Projects May 2015](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55aa72a41a28ab572e8b4765/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Logistics
• Revisions are posted on department website within LMS
• Over 4,000 students have used Open Source text
• Text is provided for students on COC’s LMS (Black Board)
• Also available on collegeopentextbooks.org
![Page 26: The Growing Community of College OER Projects May 2015](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55aa72a41a28ab572e8b4765/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
OER in Sociology
• Currently three courses use OER materials en lieu of for-profit texts
1. Introduction to Sociology
2. Intimate Relationships, Marriage, and Family
3. Sociology of Aging

OER Usage and Savings
• 33 Soci faculty at COC, almost half are using OER in their classes
• OER in three courses, 25 sections total
• 30-35 students in each course
• Assuming a new, for-profit text would be about $100, students have saved about $75,000 this semester
![Page 29: The Growing Community of College OER Projects May 2015](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55aa72a41a28ab572e8b4765/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Latest research shows….
• 17% of COC faculty currently use OER materials
• 87.6% of those using OER say they are satisfied or extremely satisfied with the content
• 88.7% not currently using using OER are interested in learning more about it

Advantages and Disadvantages for Students
Advantages:• It’s free!• Accessible to EVERYONE from
the first day of class• Students can save, print,
email, share files without restrictions
• There are no heavy textbooks to be carried around or forgotten
• Text can be accessed by most mobile devices, so most students have access to text all the time
Disadvantages:• Students have to print it out if
they want a paper copy
![Page 32: The Growing Community of College OER Projects May 2015](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55aa72a41a28ab572e8b4765/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Advantages and Disadvantages for Professors
Advantages:• No orders need to go through the
bookstore
• Able to adapt the textbook to lecture, not the other way around
• Examples, photos, stats are updated to stay current
• Standardized content to begin
• Faculty become intimately familiar with content
• Chapters can be used in any order
• Student success, retention, and participation goes up
Disadvantages:• Initial time investment and
revision cycles
• Chapters can be edited by individual instructors as well, leading to a loss of standardization
• Potential loss of big publisher resources

Faculty perspective“The savings is the major part for my
decision. I really like my current textbook for
Math 97 and Math 98, but the cost is
becoming too high for my students. The
textbook that I reviewed could certainly be
adapted for my needs.”“I would like to know more about
open online HW systems for
math classes, and perhaps be
involved in creating them.”
“The open textbook project is terrific. My only
concern is adopting one that doesn't have some of
the publisher online study materials.”

Next steps
• Develop a campus/departmental
workgroup that involves multiple
stakeholders across campus
• Ensure that faculty are supported
in their efforts
• Facilitate campus-based peer
review efforts
