Material Detail

This report presents the results of a biennial independent survey commissioned by the Digital Higher Education Consortium of Texas (DigiTex), in collaboration with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), to examine the landscape of Open Educational Resources (OER) programs, policies, and practices at higher education institutions in Texas. Similar to the 2019 survey, the 2021 survey was administered to all 158 two- and four-year public and private institutions across the state. 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 definition of OER and with OER course markers in place also increased, alongside the availability of fully-OER based courses—especially at the state’s two-year colleges
