Report: Most Educators Aware of OER, Don’t Understand OER Licensing

By Joshua Bolkan, THE Journal

The survey of more than 500 district decision makers was designed to shed light on how districts make full-course curriculum adoption decisions and to what degree respondents are aware of open educational resources (OER) and have adopted them. “The stated level of awareness of the terms and concepts of OER among K-12 district decision makers is very high,” according to the report. “However, that awareness does not extend to knowledge of open licensing. Nearly three-quarters of respondents say that they are aware of OER, but if we count only those who are also be aware of Creative Commons licensing, this drops to only one-third.”
