[LIBRARYDIR] [Urgent] Congressional data request on OER cost savings

[Boyoung Chae]

Thank you so much for your incredible support in this work. Many of you have responded with valuable data which we've compiled and developed into a short report<https://tinyurl.com/wa-saving>. Please note that,

*        it does NOT illustrate all OER use in our system and therefore does NOT offer any large-scale cost-saving data.

*        Rather, it is a summary of the identified & known cases of OER use in our system with a tracked record of cost savings.

This will remain as a living document which we will update as we receive more data. Please check that the information is correct and feel free to send us your OER cost-saving data anytime.

Thanks again!
Boyoung

[Urgent] Congressional data request on OER cost savings

SBCTC has received a congressional data request on cost savings to students as a result of OER. As you know, we have established a system-wide code labeling the courses that use OER. However, it is being gradually implemented as colleges transition to ctclink.

In the absence of system wide data, we are respectfully requesting support from the colleges to share any data on cost savings as a result of OER. It does not need to be a complete report with details - a rough estimate would be sufficient and deeply appreciated.

Thank you,
Boyoung
