Remix Hypothesis
"changes in students outcomes occurring in conjunction with OER adoption correlate positively
with faculty remixing activities.”~Wiley

My experience has been very good. I do not have a lot of experience, mainly just using the BC open textbook for my course. Using this resource has saved me a lot of time and money, allowing
me to help pay for insurance for my car.
[The] open textbook has been nice because it saved me money, only drawback is not being able to highlight text while studying
I have enjoyed it. It helps me explore my lectures further, and really helps with my understanding of the topic.
