“Due to caring responsibilities at home, most
of my study is done at home in the evening,
when my children are in bed. Therefore I
cannot use the university library to study.”
“Material changes every year so it’s difficult to
find useful second hand copies.”
“There are more recommended reading books
than I can afford to buy or have time to read.”
“They are extremely useful, but expensive
considering the fact that we pay £9000 tuition
fees.”
“When 6 subjects have 5-10 books on the
‘suggested reading’ list, it becomes impossible
to obtain all of them.”
“Text books are ridiculously priced. They are
aimed at students but are completely out of
their price range. £100 for one book!”
Quotes from UWE Students
Rolfe, V. Could open textbooks improve the experience of all students?
Coping with the Cost
• Purchase an older edition of the textbook
• Delay purchasing the textbook
• Never purchase the textbook
• Share the textbook with other students, either
directly or via the library.
• Download textbooks from the internet
–U of MN Student
"I figured French hadn't changed that
much.”
7/10
students surveyed hadn’t bought a required
textbook due to cost.
http://www.slideshare.net/txtbks/open-education-and-solving-the-textbook-cost-crisis
The Academic Impact
• 80% thought purchasing textbooks was an important
part of their studies
• 88% of students claimed to have skipped purchasing a
textbook because of the price.
• 9% claimed to have changed their course because of
the cost of books associated with it.
Rolfe, V. Could open textbooks improve the experience of all students?

  1. In terms of student and teacher perceptions of OER, 2,717 students and 2,484 faculty members were surveyed across the nine peer-reviewed studies. Approximately 50% said that the OER resources were as good as traditional resources, 35% said the OER were superior and 15% said they were inferior. Allen, I., Seaman, J. (2014).

Across 13 academic studies that attempted to measure results pertaining to student learning (higher ed: 15784 treatment, 99,692 control, k12: 1805 treatment 2439 control) none showed results in which students who utilized OER performed worse than their peers who used traditional textbooks.
