This report is based on interviews with 60 faculty in Washington’s community and technical college system which was built upon a previous state-wide survey with 770 faculty. Faculty were queried about:
* how and why they chose to use OER
* six benefits (including student savings)
* six challenges of using OER
* nine supports from college and statewide stakeholders that could help them to expand their OER use
