This paper is in response to the article entitled “Open educational resources and college textbook choices: a review of research on efficacy and perceptions” (Hilton, 2016). In the article, Hilton synthesized the results of 16 studies, and proposed a statement that the decision to employ and adopt open textbooks in higher education has appeared to have financial benefits to students without decrease in their learning outcomes. This finding would strengthen credibility of open textbooks use and encourage faculty to utilize high-quality open textbooks in a post-pandemic world. However, only if teachers are willing to develop and use open textbooks can millions be saved for students and higher performance be achieved by students. Furthermore, from integrative model of behavior prediction, future research needs to probe a variety of issues relating to how teachers could be intentionally and effectively use open textbooks to empower the digital learning in the 21st century.

本文是对题为“开放教育资源和大学教科书选择：对有效性和感知研究的回顾”（Hilton，2016）的文章的回应。在文章中，希尔顿综合了 16 项研究的结果，并提出了一项声明，即在高等教育中采用和采用开放教科书的决定似乎给学生带来了经济利益，而不会降低他们的学习成果。这一发现将加强使用开放教科书的可信度，并鼓励教师在大流行后的世界中使用高质量的开放教科书。但是，只有教师愿意开发和使用公开课本，才能为学生节省数百万美元，让学生取得更高的成绩。此外，从行为预测的综合模型中，
