Abstract

From 2013 to 2016 I worked under the auspices of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation on the Open Educational Resources Research Hub (OERRH) project to investigate the impact of OER use on teaching and learning. We set out to prove (or disprove) eleven hypotheses that summarised established beliefs of the benefits of using OER. In this presentation I will revisit some of this research told in (almost) 1001 stories of sharing, reuse and adaptation.
