Majority of faculty also believe that the cost of course materials has an impact on student learning. The campus store should continue to offer a variety of course material options at different prices points, as one-third of respondents are neutral on whether the store currently does this. 18
69 Course Material Selection The majority of faculty respondents indicated that they select the materials for their courses. Factors When Selecting Course Materials While 74% agreed that the cost of course materials has an impact on student learning, price is not the most important factor when deciding what materials to select / adopt. The most important factors are those that tend to have direct impact on student learning -- the breadth and depth of material. Breadth and depth of material covered Price Layout, organization, structure of content 44.4% 55.6% 71.6% Who Selects Course Materials Author(s) 24.7% 65% I am the sole decision maker for my courses Availability of format (digital/print/both) 22.2% 22% I am part of a group discussion, and make the final decision Availability of supplemental material (videos, prepared study tools for students, etc.) 21.0% 12% I am part of a group discussion, and someone else makes the final decision Publisher 3.7% 10% I have minimal to no input into material selection Other: 3.7% 19
70 Course Material Formats Used Course Instruction Materials Traditional printed course materials (textbooks, coursepacks, etc.) Learning management systems (Blackboard, Sakai, etc.) Professional journals and/or articles Digital/electronic course materials (ebooks, access codes, etc.) Open educational resources (OER) Custom materials from publishers 81.9% 81.7% 66.3% 62.2% 54.2% 45.1% 54.2% 42.7% 33.7% 22.0% 16.9% 15.9% Next 12 Months Majority of faculty respondents indicated using at least one type of course material for the classes they teach. Faculty usage of professionals journals/articles, digital/electronic course materials and OER materials is anticipated to increase within the next 12 months. However, it appears that faculty are planning to use these resources in addition to, rather than in place of the current instructional materials they are using. Other: 7.2% 7.3% Past 12 Months I do not use materials for any courses 6.0% 6.1% 20
71 Open Educational Resources (OER) Despite being a popular topic in higher education, a large section of faculty (42%) are still unfamiliar with Open Educational Resources (OER). The Bronco Bookstore should consider holding information sessions to explain what OERs are, the benefits of using these materials and how the bookstore can assist in the process. Open Educational Resources Usage 3.6% Usage Expected to Increase Even with the lack of familiarity, OER usage is expected to increase about 10% in the next 12 months. While one-fourth of respondents have experience with using OERs in their courses, an additional 29% are considering using it. Only 4% of faculty indicated they have no interest in OERs. 16.9% 8.4% 42.2% I am unfamiliar with OERs No, but considering it Yes, currently using OERs The Bronco Bookstore should consider meeting with faculty who have used OERs and discuss their experiences. Find out the faculty s pain points as well as the advantages of OERs. This then can then assist the store in identifying and understanding their potential role(s). 28.9% Have used it in the past, but not currently No, and have no interest in OERs Definition For the purpose of the survey, open educational resources were defined as teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. 21
72 Course Material Usage According to Student Watch *, faculty use of course materials factors significantly into a student s decision whether or not to acquire their course materials. Where Faculty Refer Students for Course Materials Three-fourths of respondents required students to obtain most or all of the materials adopted for class and 82% stated that they moderately or extensively incorporate the materials into their instruction. According to the customer survey, the Bronco Bookstore and Amazon are the primary sources for students when obtaining materials, which parallels where Cal Poly faculty are referring their students. Bronco Bookstore Amazon Library 25.3% 34.9% 74.7% Require Student to Obtain Materials Adopted 6.0% 3.6% Other online retailer 19.3% Publisher site(s) 9.6% 13.3% 28.9% 48.2% 82% regularly incorporate materials Other: 7.2% Chegg 6.0% Require all materials Require some materials Do not require materials Require most materials N/A I do not refer my students to any sources 21.7% *OnCampus Research. (2014). Student Watch TM Attitudes & Behaviors toward Course Materials Spring
73 Facilitating Faculty-Publisher Relationship Almost two-thirds of respondents have at least a moderate interest in the bookstore facilitating faculty-publisher relationships and communications. About 10% of faculty refer students directly to the publisher site(s). Only 4% of respondents indicated that the publisher was one of the most important factors when deciding what course materials to adopt/select. If not already, the Bronco Bookstore should be having regular conversations with faculty about how the store can better serve their needs as well as current trends like OERs which could have an impact on their instruction. These conversations can help the bookstore maintain and strengthen its image as an invaluable resource for faculty and a partner in helping deliver high quality education to students. Interest with Store Facilitating Faculty-Publisher Relationship 63.9% 25.3% 10.8% 28.9% 21.7% 13.3% Not at all interested Slightly interested Moderatley interested Very interested Extremely interested 23
