Finally, Drs. Brannum and Drumhiller share challenges, benefits, and lessons
learned after transitioning from textbooks to OERs in all of their international
relations and intelligence studies courses at an online university. They provide
insights about working with multiple departments, addressing faculty resistance,
planning ahead, selecting appropriate materials, and budgeting resources. They
delineate five key steps for successful OER transition and explain equity issues,
cost reductions, and enhancing students’ experiences and information literacy development.
This issue provides a wide range of approaches, tools, and research for university
constituents to consider. Articles capture research, theory, and experience
from the field. As always, I hope you extract discussion points that you can share
with your own students, colleagues, or supervisors to prompt new directions in
discourse, research, and practice.
Enjoy!
