ABSTRACT: This is a vivid illustration of a success story of
adoption of OER content at one of City University of New York (CUNY) Community
Colleges, unraveling the cost savings to students, diligent work of faculty,
and independent investigation of researchers to assess the efficacy of such
implementation to ensure the quality of student learning. The article will
share quantitative and qualitative data analyses conducted and published
regarding the adoption of OER content, which has led to the increase of savings
in students’ costs, as well as the improvement of learning experience while
ensuring no losses in the quality of material and student academic performance.
The next question is the role of OER and open pedagogy would have in the future of Kingsborough
and CUNY within the framework of CUNY Lifting New York and the 2023-2030 Strategic Roadmap.
