I think readers will appreciate the summary of Hegarty's model of open pedagogy (Hegarty's paper is on Wikimedia - download it now) which "used eight attributes to guide successful OER integration." This paper asks the question, "how do students perceive their learning with OER replacing traditional textbooks?" (or perhaps more accurately, "what do students think about learning with OER?"). The usual caveats concerning a study of "fifty-eight students enrolled in an introductory education course in a large American public university" should apply, and while I quite liked the literature review, studies of "fifty-eight students enrolled in an introductory education course in a large American public university" should be automatically disqualified from publication.
