Research Currently in Progess

Lehr-Samuels, A., Thielman, P., McKinney, A., Sindhi, H., & Tsan, K.(n.d.). Center for Teaching and Learning Open Educational Resources (OER) Initiative Evaluation. In Progress.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of zero cost materials and Open Educational Resources (OER) for the faculty and students participating in the CUNY-wide OER Initiative at Baruch College. This is an evaluation of the methods and impacts of implementation across these groups. We anticipate that the data we collect will enable the Center for Teaching and Learning develop best practices for using OER and zero cost learning materials at Baruch and to inform our future programming on these topics. Additionally, we would like to share these best practices with the wider OER community at CUNY and beyond through presentations and/or publications.
