      Diane has produced a number of studies on OER, and she just began a study on the Make Textbooks Affordable campaign to determine the success of organizing professors around the issue of affordability. Her work is criticized by many of the intellectual leaders in the open ed movement because she is conservative about the potential for OER use; she believes that professors are not going to switch straight from traditional textbooks to OER.
