Hi Priscila. To me this doesn’t look like a very rigorous survey with respect to OER. It’s done by a UK-based education technology company, and there isn't any information on the methodology or wording of the questions, which is suspect. They also make several factual errors in the press release, including how they describe US Department of Education policy and neglecting that textbooks can be open resources too. So, I suspect this probably doesn't distinguish between “open” and “free online”, and while the results may be meaningful in showing that teachers are moving *toward* more open resources (using free online resources is a first step), we should also beware of anything that promotes misunderstanding of what open means.

Hi everyone!

Tks Cable for sharing this survey! It's amazing results! 
But I'm in doubt if this "open" the survey discuss about is related to "our open understanding" or is also related to "free understanding" (I mean not paid).

Anyone knows?
