This is the second course of a two-course sequence in biology intended for majors. This course explores mechanisms of evolution, diversity and classification of life, population and community ecology and selected vertebrate body systems.This course has adopted the OER textbook "Biology 2e" from OpenStax. 

This OER is an overview of important items for students entering college for the first time. It is a helpful guide for topics ranging from time management and critical thinking, to financial literacy.

Introduction to Health using an OER Health Textbook. Includes 16 modules with video introductions, readings, discussions questions, quizzes, and assignments exploring all aspects of health including food, exercise, relationships, stress, addiction, and disease.

Nursing content can be overwhelming and confusing to the new nursing student. Incorporating concepts related to anatomy/physiology, microbiology, sociology, human development, pharmacology, and teaching/learning can be a daunting task. The literature is filled with acronyms, charts, and organizational tools to help the nursing student navigate nursing courses. To enjoy these resources, most have a fee attached to them. That may not be a problem under normal circumstances as there may be scholarships or financial aid that may ease some of the financial burden. To lessen this financial burden and to address inclusion and equity, this Nursing OER is designed to help the nursing student organize material in an easy to follow format, while developing clinical judgment at the same time. It can be utilized in theory as well as skills lab and clinical rotations. 

Includes an attached common course cartdridge for an Introduction to Statistics for Psychology course adapted by Paul C. Bernhardt, Ph.D. for a PSYC 301 course at Frostburg State University. The course is an adaptation of Learning Statistics with jamovi, A Tutorial for Psychology Students and Other Beginners (Navarro & Foxcraft, 2019) and a free and open-source statistical analysis package named jamovi (www.jamovi.org).

This resource was created at the University of Maryland (UMD) for instructors who want to teach, students (and instructors) who want to learn, and researchers who want to use R for statistical discovery and analysis. While this is a textbook, it is largely based on hands-on examples with video walk-throughs to take you through accessing R and RStudio, the basics of R and progressing to analyses with step by step templates and video support. The goal is to build confidence with programming early on and demonstrate best coding practices from the start.

This is a comprehensive Personal Finance text which includes a wide range of pedagogical aids to keep students engaged and instructors on track. This text has an attitude: that in addition to providing sources of practical information, it should introduce students to a way of thinking about their personal financial decisions. The book is arranged by learning objectives. The headings, summaries, reviews, and problems all link together via the learning objectives. This helps instructors to teach what they want, and to assign the problems that correspond to the learning objectives covered in class. This text was adapted by The Saylor Foundation and Montgomery College under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 License without attribution as requested by the work’s original creator or licensee. The text has been made available as a Word Dcoument and as a PDF.

Students often express trouble with application, or "word", problems in typical College Algebra classes. This accessible document contains the solutions, both handwritten and typed, for 135 application problems from various open source mathematics textbooks. Topics include linear, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. This guide can be used to supplement your College Algebra (or similar) course. 

Addresses knowledge and skills required to engage with our digital landscape in an informed and critical fashion.
