The Impact of Open Educational Resources on Various Student Success Metrics
" A new study published by researchers Nicholas Colvard of the University of Georgia and Eddie Watson of the Association of American Colleges and Universities in the International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. It's a large-scale study looking at the impact of OER adoption on student success measures at the University of Georgia. The study is significant because it looks specifically at the impact on historically underserved populations of students, including Pell eligibility (a measure socioeconomic background), part-time status, and ethnic origin."
