Replacing traditionally expensive learning resources with open educational resources (OER) can have a great impact in the reduction of cost for post-secondary education and student learning. With these benefits as a backdrop, this article describes a case study in which one college instructor adopted OER for College Algebra, offered as a hybrid learning model. This paper discusses this experience with adopting such materials and their impact on student success.}, refereed = {yes}, doi = {10.19173/irrodl.v18i4.3003}, url = {http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/3003}, attachments = {3003-24033-1-PB.pdf}, }
