Hi all, this message is cross-posted.

In the four OER grant programs for which prior data is available, the estimated cumulative student savings is $14,108,853 since 2015, or about $12 in student savings per program dollar spent. Read more: https://openoregon.org/continuing-savings-2/

Congratulations to all of Oregon’s OER grantees for their ongoing work on behalf of students!

:)

Hi everyone

Yes, the cumulative savings from OERs can be just stunning. This isn’t Oregon, and I’m not trying to take anything away from Oregon’s stunning accomplishment – just wanting to add my own tidbit. At the University of North Dakota, between January 2016 and May 2020, we saved our students about $11 million. We have over 90 faculty, across every school and college, using OERs. I have to add up the additional savings from May 2020-21, but I’m waiting for a bit more data. I’m pretty sure we’ll be over $13 million, maybe $14 million, by then. It’s really exciting. We’re now at the point where we’re trying to push things more statewide and regionally, to have a greater impact. Fingers crossed!
