American Government is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the single-semester American government course. This title includes innovative features designed to enhance student learning, including Insider Perspective features and a Get Connected Module that shows students how they can get engaged in the political process. The book provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of American government and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. American Government includes updated information on the 2016 presidential election.Senior Contributing AuthorsGlen Krutz (Content Lead), University of OklahomaSylvie Waskiewicz, PhD (Lead Editor)

These are PDFs of each chapter of the OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology textbook. They can be posted to D2L for easy access for students.

This open course with a new set of ancillary materials for OpenStax Chemistry was created under a Round Eleven Mini-Grant for Ancillary Materials Creation and Revision. The materials created in order to support faculty implementing OpenStax Psychology in the classroom include:

Lecture Slides
Chapter Checklists
Practice Problems
Newly-Created Videos
Along with these resources, the open course also contains a laboratory section with new instructional videos, a laboratory notebook and a sample notebook with responses, and experiments for each course.

Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

The course introduces students to the nature of life, concepts of biochemistry, metabolism, genetics, cellular and molecular biology. Students will learn about the various techniques used to study biology - cloning, gene editing and the exciting field of Genetic Engineering.This Open Education Resource Core Curriculum course was developed with funding from Texas Higher Education Board - Open Educational Resources Grant Program (OERGP) 2018-2019 RFA # 20337.

Textbook

The book for this course is Macroeconomics and uses a book from OpenStax which was created by Rice University.

Videos

Images for videos come from the following sources with voice over from Professor Richard Gosselin at Houston Community College who is solely responsible for their content. There are 179 videos for the macroeconomics course with an average run time of about five minutes each. They were produced using three sources - desktop screen capturing via Screenflow which is a product of Telestream, as well as One Button Studio and the Learning Glass for live in-person mini-lectures filmed in a studio. Nearly all the video have been closed-captioned for the hearing impaired using professionals rather than automation. There are also downloadable transcripts embedded for each video and a download feature for users. Houston Community College footed the expense of the closed-captioning service. I would like to thank the college administration as well as Ruben Duran, Senior Media Developer at the college for assisting with this.

Test Bank

The original test bank provided by Open Stax provided 1158 questions, 955 were multiple choice and 203 were short answer questions. Under this grant there were no additional short answer questions added however, there are now 1418 questions in the new test bank which is the result of adding 260 questions of the following variety - multiple choice, fill in the blank, numerical questions, multiple drop-down questions, multiple-response questions, matching and formula questions which present each student with different values and parameters.

College Physics for AP Courses is designed to engage students in their exploration of physics and help them to relate what they learn in the classroom to their lives and to apply these concepts to the Advanced Placement test. Physics underlies much of what is happening today in other sciences and in technology, therefore the book includes interesting facts and ideas that go beyond the scope of the AP course to further student understanding. The AP Connection in each chapter directs students to the material they should focus on for the AP® exam, and what content — although interesting — is not necessarily part of the AP curriculum.

This google drive has notes for an Elementary Statistics I course. The chapter and sections numbers correspond to the OER textbook by Openstax, Introductory Statistics.
