Some Friday reading - has anyone seen this recent report funded by a 
grant from The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation with additional 
support from Pearson.

Opening the Curriculum: Open Education Resources in U.S. Higher 
Education, 2014
http://www.onlinelearningsurvey.com/oer.html

The meat of it is that over 75% of faculty (university professors) in 
the US are unaware of OER, however many actually use them. The figures 
suggest that the perception of OERs being of low quality has faded over 
time but search continues to be a blocker.

Any thoughts?
