This systematic review of literature aims to answer three guiding questions: (1) What evidence exists that the adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) textbooks in secondary and higher education leads to comparable student educational outcomes as traditional curricular materials? (2) How does literature pertaining to evaluating OER compare to the literature evaluating textbook quality and adoption in general? and (3) What does a systematic review of these two literature domains suggest about future directions for OER research? The reviewer concludes that the OER community should use systematic and rigorous studies of empirical impacts of open textbook adoption to add rigor and respectability to the community?s body of research. Research from the literature on general textbooks provides insight as to what future OER research might look like.
