CONDUCTING A FACULTY OER AUDIT: FROM SURVEY TO PUBLIC INVENTORY

A common challenge with with textbook affordability initiatives is the simple act of determining which faculty have abandoned their traditional commercial textbook for either an open textbook or some other zero-cost learning material alternative. This session describes a project by the institutional textbook task force to conduct a faculty audit on OER use and then create a publicly accessible inventory to share where faculty across the institution are using OER and other textbook affordability approaches in their courses. The presenters will cover the audit process and the development of the online inventory.
