Definitions

Adoption: Each adoption refers to a course section within a specific term and year for which an open textbook has replaced a a primary textbook or educational resource that must be purchased.
Faculty: The number of individual instructors who have adopted one or more open textbooks for one or more course sections. A faculty member is only counted once.
Savings: Savings include a range as reported in our blog, Calculating Student Savings.

• The number at the lower end is calculated as follows: number of students (see “Students”) x $100 (This number was derived by OpenStax College based on a formula that takes into account used textbook purchases and rental costs as well as new textbook costs.)
• The number at the upper end is calculated as follows: number of students (see “Students”) x actual cost of the textbook being replaced if purchased as hard copy and new.

Students: The total number of students in all course sections within which an open textbook is used as the primary educational resource.
