In the summer of 2020, in response to the global pandemic and with a desire to alleviate student concern over textbook expenses, a university in central Appalachia shifted from paid, publisher materials to course content free to students. Over the course of the 2020-2021 academic year, members of the University staff collected data on students' expected interactions with the resources, perceptions on performance, and actual engagement and performance with these resources. Collected through surveys at the end of each term, this longitudinal data sought to determine how student anticipated engagement and performance matched their actual experience during the year, as well as if their experience with free materials changed over time. This presentation shares data collected through a survey given at the beginning of fall 2020 and surveys completed after each 8-week term. Presenters will also discuss pitfalls to implementation, student expected textbook costs prior to the initiative, and how the University mitigated concern on the part of faculty.
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
Discover how students anticipate free course resources will impact their engagement with material and overall performance
Explain the reported impact of free course resources on student engagement with material and student performance
Determine how students self-reported engagement with materials and its impact on their performance change over time
