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. %8 06/2017 %9 Special Issue: Outcomes of Openness: Empirical Reports on the Implementation of OER %@ 1492-3831 %* yes %> http://www.oerknowledgecloud.org/archive/3003-24033-1-PB.pdf
