An integrated course stressing the principles of biology. Life processes are examined primarily at the organismal and population levels. Intended for students majoring in biology or for non-majors who wish to take advanced biology courses.

This is a free to use lab manual for General Biology for Nonscience Majors I labs. The manual is specifically designed to suit online courses and has 15 modules that were developed by compiling various OER resources. Each module corresponds to one lab and includes background reading, prelab qiz, the lab exercise and lab report.   Simple experiments that could be performed using common household materials have also been included to make the content more relatable and to provide online students with hands on experience.

This is a General Chemistry 1 course taught at Sowela Technical Community College. This course utilizes Openstax Chemistry resources with added videos, powerpoint slides, and assessments.

Four types of OER material are found here: Study Guides, Laboratory Documents, XML Moodle Quiz Question Files, and YouTube screencast videos. These materials have been used in both calculus and non- calculus Introductory Physics. Twelve to fourteen different topics are covered over a fourteen week semester. Most topics are supported by a Study Guide, a laboratory, a set of Moodle Quiz formatted questions, and one or more YouTube posted screencast videos. These posted resources are at various levels of completeness. Some remain in rough draft stage. OpenStax Physics textbooks are used in all courses.

This is the full course content for a course on General Psychology. It contains eight modules: Foundations of Psychology; Biopsychology; Consciousness and Sleep; Sensation and Perception; Learning, Memory, and Intelligence; Motivation and Emotion; Personality, Developmental Psychology, and Social Psychology; Psychological Disorder and Treatment, Abnormal Behavior and Health Psychology

Learn how the Gini coefficient can be used to interpret income inequality in this video.

This video shows how to graph marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost. The relationship between these curves at important points is also explored.

This collection of guided notes was created through a Round Fifteen Mini-Grant for Ancillary Materials Creation and Revision. Major topics include:

Review Topics
Equations and Inequalities
Functions and Graphs
Other Functions and Inequalities
Exponentials and Logarithms

BIOL 1106 OER course developed with funding from Texas Higher Education Board - Open Educational Resources Grant Program (OERGP) through the Governor's Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund. 2020-2022 RFA # 23906.This laboratory-based course accompanies Biology 1306, Biology for Science Majors I. Laboratory activities reinforce the fundamental principles of living organisms, including physical and chemical properties of life, organization and function. Study and examination of the concepts of cytology, reproduction, genetics, DNA, Biotechnology and scientific reasoning are included.The course is designed for both 100% online and 100% in-person laboratory options. It is organized into modules. Each module includes an introduction to the topic, tutorials, online and in-person activities, lab reports, as well as pre and post lab quizzes to ensure learner success.

This course provides an overview of the United States from pre-Columbian North American and European antecedents to colonization, Colonial America, Revolutionary America; development of U.S. government, economy, and society to 1840.
Course Outcomes:
1. Articulate an understanding of key historical events from pre-Columbian North America and European antecedents to colonization, the development of slavery, Native American history, Colonial America, Revolutionary America and the development of U.S. government, economy, and society to 1840.
2. Identify and investigate historical theses, evaluate information and its sources, and use appropriate reasoning to construct evidence-based arguments on historical issues.
3. Construct an historical argument integrating both primary documents and secondary sources.

This video expands on previous videos to explore how changes in production technology, changes in fixed costs, and changes in variable costs affect the marginal product of labor, marginal costs, average variable costs, average fixed costs, and average total cost.

Given that hiring more workers gives more revenue, but also has additional cost, what is the optimal amount of labor to hire? We begin thinking about this as well as briefly discuss another type of competition: monopsony labor markets. Created by Sal Khan.

Price controls reallocate surplus between buyers and sellers. In this video we explore how that happens with a price ceiling or a price floor.

This is a lab manual for a college-level human anatomy course. Mastery of anatomy requires a fair amount of memorization and recall skills. The activities in this manual encourage students to engage with new vocabulary in many ways, including grouping key terms, matching terms to structures, recalling definitions, and written exercises. Most of the activities in this manual utilize anatomical models, and several dissections of animal tissues and histological examinations are also included. Each unit includes both pre- and post-lab questions and six lab exercises designed for a classroom where students move from station to station. The vocabulary terms used in each unit are listed at the end of the manual and serve as a checklist for practicals.

This text is disseminated via the Open Education Resource (OER) LibreTexts Project (https://LibreTexts.org) and like the hundreds of other texts available within this powerful platform, it is freely available for reading, printing and "consuming." Most, but not all, pages in the library have licenses that may allow individuals to make changes, save, and print this book. Carefully consult the applicable license(s) before pursuing such effects.

Instructors can adopt existing LibreTexts texts or Remix them to quickly build course-specific resources to meet the needs of their students. Unlike traditional textbooks, LibreTexts’ web based origins allow powerful integration of advanced features and new technologies to support learning.

Human anatomy is one of the foundational disciplines in the training of health care professionals. Knowledge of human structure at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels serves as a framework for the study of normal function and dysfunction. This workbook presents a series of questions related to a particular area of anatomy. Answers to those questions are included at the end of the book. This approach to self-assessment in basic human anatomy will be helpful to students in preparing for clinical-based learning activities as well as for other types of knowledge assessment and evaluation.

The students will learn and understand the importance of reflexes in human body, understand how the nerve impulse travels through the nerves and how to test a reflex.

The overall purpose of this preparatory course textbook is to help students familiarize with some terms and some basic concepts they will find later in the Human Anatomy and Physiology I course.

The organization and functioning of the human organism generally is discussed in terms of different levels of increasing complexity, from the smallest building blocks to the entire body. This Anatomy and Physiology preparatory course covers the foundations on the chemical level, and a basic introduction to cellular level, organ level, and organ system levels. There is also an introduction to homeostasis at the beginning.
