The Activity Stream lets you see an up-to-the-minute list of course activities. This includes new content, announcement, and grades in the Blackboard app.  It will help you prioritize the tasks that need attention. Users can select the notification in the activity stream and will be taken directly to that item. Users may set their activity stream notifications based on their own preferences.

This course treats various methods to design and analyze datastructures and algorithms for a wide range of problems. The most important new datastructure treated is the graph, and the general methods introduced are: greedy algorithms, divide and conquer, dynamic programming and network flow algorithms. These general methods are explained by a number of concrete examples, such as simple scheduling algorithms, Dijkstra, Ford-Fulkerson, minimum spanning tree, closest-pair-of-points, knapsack, and Bellman-Ford. Throughout this course there is significant attention to proving the correctness of the discussed algorithms. All material for this course is in English. The recorded lectures, however, are in Dutch.

This is a collection of mini lectures created by anthropologists and those in conversation with anthropology as supplimental material to assist college and university instructors who were made to shift their courses online because of COVID19.For more information, see here.To contribute, please create an OER author account and send your name and OER registered email to AnthropologyTeaching@gmail.com.

This resource is a modification of the Washington Models for the Evaluation of Bias Content in Instructional Materials (2009) that is made available through OER Commons under a public domain license. This resource attempts to both update the content with more contemporary vocabulary and also to narrow the scope to evaluating still images as they are found online. It was developed as a secondary project while working on a BranchED OER grant during summer 2020. It includes an attached rubric adapted from the Washington Model (2009).

This resource is a template for designing a Professional Learning Series. This template was designed for the OER Advanced Skills series in June 2023. This course is designed to provide new faculty members at community colleges with a comprehensive understanding of the Backwards Design Framework and its application in the development of effective courses. Through a series of step-by-step lessons, participants will learn how to design courses that align with learning objectives, engage students, and promote successful outcomes. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to create impactful and student-centered community college courses.

Bad Ideas About Writing counters major myths about writing instruction. Inspired by the provocative science- and social-science-focused book This Idea Must Die and written for a general audience, the collection offers opinionated, research-based statements intended to spark debate and to offer a better way of teaching writing. Contributors, as scholars of rhetoric and composition, provide a snapshot of and antidotes to major myths in writing instruction. This collection is published in whole by the Digital Publishing Institute at WVU Libraries and in part by Inside Higher Ed.

The multi-lesson "Best Class/Worst Class" project provides a way for students and professor to set expectations for course performance collaboratively, while simultaneously modeling productive online interaction strategies. Students become more aware of their own learning process and the processes of those with whom they will be working, creating necessary bridges to successful collaboration. In addition, students are able to develop practical skills in navigating the online environment before being tasked with heavily-weighted course components.This project is designed to be implemented alongside discipline-specific course content. 

Biotechnology Foundations, 2nd Edition, 2019, was created to provide free open-access teaching and learning resources for two Introduction to Biotechnology courses at Austin Community College, Biotechnology Program (Intro to Biotech I BIOL1414 & Intro to Biotech II BIOL1415). This book provides the foundation of chemistry, biology, and microbiology needed to build biotechnology laboratory science workforce skills. The goal of this book is to encourage both faculty and student adoption and active, engaged use in the classroom and provide the resources students need to succeed as entry-level laboratory technicians.

This session introduces a variety of creative ways in which OER have been utilized in Texas, in instruction and beyond. Additionally, a demo of current projects includes a deep dive into the OER Nursing Essentials Project (O.N.E.) – a collaborative effort between THECB and OpenStax, an introduction to the THECB’s Student Success Inventory, and the unveiling of the Texas OER Playbook.

The purpose of the CBE course design guidelines is to familiarize you with some important considerations when creating an online CBE course, understand the standards of a competency-based course, and learn best practices of competency-based course design.

This is a screen capture of the discussion board for our COMM 1304: Introduction to Communication course at the University of Houston Downtown. The questions ask students to engage with one another and reflect back on the assigned chapter of the OER textbook.
