“Adopting a text that was available as an eBook has meant that students can choose to either purchase the book, download it from the HSU library portal, or read it online. As a result of this adoption process, I have seen an increase in student's referencing the text in their class discussion. They connect the reading with their fieldwork experiences creating a more powerful learning environment.”

“When I assign students multiple open educational resources to read about a topic, they are expected to take more ownership for their learning. They will need to think critically about the different perspectives and synthesize their understanding for sharing during class discussions and online postings.”
