Abstract
This review by Dr. Jonathan Ericson, Associate Professor for Experience Design at Bentley University, evaluates two OER textbooks: "Cognitive Psychology" and "Research Methods in Psychology.” Both texts, published on LibreTexts, are assessed for various criteria including comprehensiveness, accuracy, and relevance. The reviewer concludes that while suitable for introductory courses, both textbooks would benefit from supplemental materials and critical reflection questions to enhance student learning and address potential biases.
