| Abstract | Open Education Resources (OER) are educational materials that are free and posted on-line for use by teachers and students. The materials can be used as they are posted or mixed and matched with other materials from other on line sources, with the impetus behind the OER movement being the increasing price of textbooks. The purpose of this study was to address the gap in the study of OER relating to the academic impact of this content delivery method. This study was set at an open-admission, four-year college in the Midwest, with a study population of 266 students enrolled in developmental math and English classes. Students in those classes who used OER had significantly higher odds of achieving success in a developmental math class as compared to students who were using a purchased program/textbook in the developmental math class. This echoes the results found in other studies of OER used in math classes, mainly in the community college setting. Based on this result, institutions should consider moving to OER as the delivery mechanism for developmental math classes. No statistically significant difference in student success was found for students who used OER in a developmental English class, compared with students who used a purchased computer program/textbook. The use of OER did not appear to have a significant impact on students' course enrollment preference. In both Math 100 and English 100, students did not have a significantly different preference with regard to the educational resource in a future course that they are required to take. By examining student success and course preference, this study begins to fill in the gap in the knowledge and understanding of the impact of OER on student success. Based on the results of this study, institutions should strongly consider using OER materials for developmental math classes.
