Looking for Bio and Chem online labs/ simulations

[Jessica Norman]

Hi All,

My intro Bio and Chem instructors are interested in OER. It’s been fairly easy to locate textbooks and some lab manuals for them to review.  However, they are also interested in a hybrid or online version of the course and were wondering if there were open licensed online lab simulations in these areas?   A Google search brings up lots of results but I’m unsure which are complete, high quality content, so any feedback on what your faculty are using (OER, low cost, or traditional access model) would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, Jessica

Hi Jessica,

You may find some resources here:  https://lumenlearning.com/courses/ 

Also, MIT Open Course Wear https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm  has full courses available, including syllabus, exams, lecture notes, and more. (I'm not sure what may be available re: simulations.)

Thanks,

Kelli

Thanks Kelli,

I'm intrigued by this site: 

https://inspark.education/ 

OpenStax is mentioned and it is on the Smart Sparrow platform.   Is anyone's institution using the resources?
