We'd apply all the caveats to the 2024 data that we've applied in the past. Here, for example: blog.opensyllabus.org/oer-adoption.... And you can explore all of this yourself if you're interested, at analytics.opensyllabus.org
OER Adoption Update: 2023 | Open Syllabus Blog
With the release of version 2.11 of the OS dataset, we can update our reporting on adoption rates for open educational resources (OERs) -- specifically, open textbooks and 'open access' monographs.

OER is maintaining its momentum in 2024, growing quickly but from a low baseline. OA monograph adoption, in contrast, is largely static. These are generally specialized scholarship: they occupy smaller course niches and aren't substitutes for commercial titles. The top OA monographs (more or less):

Here's another way to look at it: keyword searches for OER and Openstax -- a large OER publisher.

Pick a field with lots of OER titles and a longer history of using them and the numbers jump. Here's Math at CA 2-Years. 2024 may be a spike in our data (for now), but figure adoption at around 3-4x the average of other fields.

Once again, California 2-years lead the way. Around 5% of all CA 2yr classes are taught with an OER textbook. Best, but still not a lot. Some of this is a function of the stickiness of faculty textbook choices. Some follows from the spotty availability of OER titles in many fields.

Zoom in on 2-years and it's steeper -- over 2x since 2020. The use of Open Access monographs basically vanishes, since courses at 2-year schools are overwhelmingly textbook driven.

What does that look like? Here's our report for 2023, showing very rapid growth in adoption over the past years -- but starting from zero a decade ago and still marginal in most programs. blog.opensyllabus.org/oer-adoption...

The full rankings from 2021 are here. And beyond Harvard and MIT, it has some surprises. Schools haven't valued 'teaching impact' because it hasn't had a measure. And so the rankings it produces are different. We'll post the 2024 charts in a few days. blog.opensyllabus.org/business-sch...

Harvard won the rankings when we did this analysis three years ago, but in this round they were edged out by Kellog/Northwestern -- largely based on the ubiquity of the work of Philip Kotler's marketing textbooks. www.amazon.com/Principles-M...
