OER Research Hub (OERRH, 2014) at The Open University provides a focus for research into the global impact of OER by working in collaboration with projects across four education sectors (K12, college, higher education and informal) extending a network of research with shared methods and shared results. The Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER, 2014) is a joint effort by individual colleges, regional and statewide consortia, the OpenCourseware Consortium, and other educational partners to promote awareness and adoption of open education policies and practices to enhance teaching and learning. CCCOER has over 200 colleges in 15 U.S. States (and one Canadian province) who meet regularly to share best practices and identify opportunities for collaboration. In this poster presentation we share some results from research carried out in collaboration between 2012 and 2013, including a survey of college educators (n=136) and several field research visits
