Drill Down

Open education resources (OER) have become a popular avenue for teachers to freely share learning materials. This month's survey data shows the variety of ways teachers are using OER to benefit learning, and how that use has evolved over the past three years.

  • 11/09/09

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Lesson plans are the most common type of open education resource that teachers report using.
  • Only 15 percent of teachers say they have not used OER in their classroom.
  • The percent of “as-is” use of lessons has plummeted, perhaps indicating teachers have grown comfortable adapting lessons.
