What specific OER are you currently using?

Using my own OER business textbook.

Have you used strategies, other than using OER in your teaching, to minimize the cost of course materials for your students? 

No

How are you implementing OER in your teaching?

Created a remix book and am using it as the textbook in my introduction to business course.

Where do you find quality OER? For the OER you are using what made you decide to pick that one?

I created mine in libretext.

Where there any barriers to using OER, as compared to traditionally published materials, which you had to overcome?

not that I have encountered yet.

Are you glad you made the switch?

Yes

What is your students’ feedback on the OER you have used?

I haven't really asked them yet but they seem to like it and are happy to save on textbook cost

Have you noticed a difference in student learning, grades, or engagement when you have used OER?

No

Do you have any advice for colleagues who are interested in implementing OER in their teaching?

It is easier to adopt and adapt than you think so it is definitely worth it.
