Material Detail

This survey, conducted in April 2022 and covering the 2021-22 academic year,surveyed 1,843 faculty and 916 administrators from U.S. higher education institutions. The respondents represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

This survey asked faculty and teachers about their current teaching situation, opinions and preferences on digital materials and tools, and satisfaction with their current curricula. There are questions that continue to gauge the impact of the pandemic in higher education, and measure trends in the use of remote learning and digital tools that were adopted in response to the pandemic. Faculty were also asked to provide ratings for the curricula they use, both overall and for specific factors like cost and accuracy.

The list of questions used this year has been expanded to ask respondents details about their textbook use and access. Specifically, respondents are asked about the format (digital and/or print) they used, their opinions on thecost of materials to students, and availability of inclusive access. It isimportant to follow and assess how different options for textbooks are being adopted and used as part of a classroom’s tools.

e also continue to research the levels of OER awareness and adoption within higher education. Respondents were asked about their general awareness of OER and OER initiatives. Furthermore, we asked about awareness of different licensing types, which helps to validate reported OER awareness.
