A Critical Evaluation of OER Efficacy Studies – In the Library with the Lead Pipe .html text/html 6624 509 52 This selective literature review evaluates open educational resources (OER) efficacy studies through the lens of critical pedagogy. This situation presents an excellent opportunity to define, develop, implement, and advocate for OER in critical ways that address social justice issues facing higher ed: cost and access, pedagogical practice, and academic labor. Replacing commercial textbooks with OER is a pedagogical decision, beyond cost and access; details are provided about commercial textbooks and OER; faculty are making pedagogical decisions and are transparent about materials adopted, including relevant software (e.g. learning management software); open and critical pedagogy is used to involve and reflect students' voices. Every study addresses how OER help reduce the cost of higher education and increases access to textbooks and learning materials. Instead, I am analyzing these studies for evidence, or lack thereof, of critical approaches to OER adoption and survey design as it relates to cost and access, pedagogy, and academic labor. ./cache/www-inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe-org-1224.html ./txt/www-inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe-org-1224.txt
