This article summarizes a survey from Bay View Analytics titled Digital Texts in the Time of COVID (59 page PDF; note that the link in Campus Technology is incorrect). The headline is a bit misleading. While it is true that faculty awareness has increased in the last five years, it is only in the most recent year that use has not increased to the same degree, "marking the first time that growth in awareness was not coupled with growth in adoption." And the main point remains that overall faculty were four times more likely to have adopted an OER textbook if they were aware of OER.
