The bulk of previous research on students' perceptions of open educational resources have lacked a control group of students rating traditional textbooks. Moreover, few studies have examined differences in the perceptions of online students and those taking classes in the classroom. A 2 × 2 cross-sectional design was used in which 925 students, assigned either a traditional textbook or an open textbook in either an online or classroom environment, were recruited to complete an online survey. Students assigned open textbooks were almost twice as likely to report using their textbooks, they used them more frequently, and for more time per week overall. Students assigned open textbooks also perceived a greater degree of overlap between the textbook, lecture, and quiz material than did students assigned traditional textbooks. Finally, ratings of the open textbooks were significantly higher than ratings of the traditional textbooks overall and on 11 of 15 different dimensions. Few differences in the online and classroom students were detected, suggesting both groups experienced similar benefits of the open textbooks. These findings demonstrate that replacing traditional textbooks with open textbooks may help to offset some of the financial hardships students face while improving students' engagement and satisfaction with their assigned textbook.

在线和传统课堂环境中学生对开放教科书与传统教科书的相关性和质量的使用和感知

以前关于学生对开放教育资源的看法的大部分研究都缺乏对传统教科书进行评分的学生对照组。此外，很少有研究调查在线学生和在课堂上上课的学生的看法差异。使用 2 × 2 横断面设计，招募 925 名学生，在在线或课堂环境中分配传统教科书或开放教科书，完成在线调查。分配了开放教科书的学生报告使用教科书的可能性几乎是其两倍，他们使用它们的频率更高，并且每周使用的时间更长。与分配传统教科书的学生相比，分配了开放式教科书的学生也感觉到教科书、讲座和测验材料之间有更大程度的重叠。最后，开放教科书的评分明显高于传统教科书的整体评分和15个不同维度中的11个评分。在线学生和课堂学生几乎没有差异，这表明两组都从开放教科书中获得了相似的好处。这些发现表明，用开放式教科书取代传统教科书可能有助于抵消学生面临的一些经济困难，同时提高学生对所分配教科书的参与度和满意度。
