Integrating Open Educational Resources (OERs) into your learning center offerings is not only cost effective for students, but OERs can also positively impact student success and retention. Attendees will learn about the benefits and pitfalls of using OERs, gain access to a curated list of student success oriented OERs, consider ways to partner with faculty, and be presented with guides for development/evaluation of OERs.

Editor's Notes
- Program Impact Goals Number of students enrolled in OER courses Number and percentage of OER sections Number and percentage of high-enrollment courses with an OER option Number and percentage of faculty members trained in use of OER Degrees or certificates with an OER pathway Cost Savings Goals Total textbook savings Single term textbook savings Number of students benefiting from savings Faculty and Student Satisfaction Goals Faculty perceptions of quality Faculty challenges to overcome Student perceptions of quality Student benefits Student challenges to overcome Note: While all OER approaches will achieve impact and cost savings goals, completion and learning goals often require a more complete focus that goes beyond simply using openly licensed learning materials. Progress and Completion Goals Reduction in drops relative to control group or historical patterns, with impact on completion and tuition revenue Course throughput relative to control or historical patterns, combining impact of drops, withdrawals and students failing to earn a C or better relative Program completion rates relative to control or historical patterns Student Learning and Engagement Goals Earliest access to OER materials by students (when do students actually access the available OER) Student engagement in OER learning materials Student success in achieving challenging learning outcomes Improvement in student success in achieving challenging learning outcomes based on revisions or enhancements to OER Student participation in OER development or refinement
