New for 2021, the survey was additionally administered to 11 independent health-related institutions across the state, for a total of 169 institutions. Responses from 111 institutions in 2021 show growth in commitment to OER across the state, with 45% of institutions having formal policies or programs in place to support OER, compared to 38% in 2019. The percentage of institutions with a formal defnition of OER and with OER course markers in place also increased, alongside the availability of fully-OER based courses—especially at the state’s twoyear colleges.  \nFurthermore, about one-third of institutions across the state are beginning to provide comprehensive, systems-based supports for OER by engaging multiple offces and roles on campus, from students, to library staff, to Faculty Excellence Center staff, to Digital Learning staff. These institutions are demonstrating other, advanced OER practices, including implementing formal OER policies and programs, building out their catalogue of OER-based courses, participating in partnerships with external educational institutions on OER, collecting OER impact data, and working to foster student awareness of OER through targeted strategies.  \nAt the same time, the survey fndings also reveal insights into priority areas and challenges for some institutions as they work to advance OER adoption and use. While the large majority of institutions in 2021 identify the importance of increasing faculty buy-in in order to grow OER adoption, and are working to market OER on their campuses, there has been a decrease in the number of institutions that offer faculty incentives to encourage OER use since 2019. Additionally, OER professional learning has remained stagnant, with the large majority of institutions reporting in both 2019 and 2021 that less than 10% of their faculty have been trained on OER. Furthermore, the large majority of insti","cbCain8ml0BhE8MX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain8ml0BhE8MX","pdf",965178,45,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n# Survey Approach\n# Findings\n# Implications and Conclusions\n# Appendix A: Definitions\n# Appendix B: Survey Instrument\n# Appendix C: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the 2021 biennial survey in this report?\",\"answer\":\"To examine the landscape of Open Educational Resources (OER) programs, policies, and practices at higher education institutions in Texas.\"},{\"question\":\"How many institutions participated in the 2021 survey?\",\"answer\":\"Responses were collected from 111 institutions in 2021, across a total of 169 surveyed institutions.\"},{\"question\":\"What key growth trends related to OER are reported compared with 2019?\",\"answer\":\"More institutions reported formal OER policies or programs (45% vs. 38%), increased use of formal OER definitions and course markers, and greater availability of fully-OER based courses, particularly at two-year colleges.\"}]","Advancing an Ecosystem for Open Educational Resources - Biennial Report 2021 | PDF",1792059244,113]
