Digital literacy is promoted by providing hyperlinks to reputable sources. - Textbooks are written in plain language to promote student success. - Active learning activities are incorporated in the e-book that range from flashcards to patient scenarios that encourage the development of clinical judgment and provide feedback. - Critical thinking questions and learning activities are included as formative assessments with answer keys provided in the back of the book that do not require internet access. - Learning outcomes will be collected across WTCS nursing course sections beginning in Fall 2020 and will compare student success rates in courses using the OER textbook(s) to those not using OER.
