Jennifer Price Mahoney adopted two OER textbooks and used other freely available
teaching materials for three separate writing courses. It is important to note that OER
materials are being used in multiple courses in the Writing curriculum and that these
courses impact a signi cant number of students. Ms. Mahoney has also documented
the favorable reception of these materials by students, 67% of whom responded that
OER readings were more helpful than materials they had used in other online courses.
