Good afternoon: 

I hope this message finds you all well. Does anyone know of some good textbooks/resources for OER courses in Lifespan Growth and Development. We are looking for a good book with resources for our LMS (which happens to be canvas). Please share if you have any experiences or resources with this! Thanks!

HI Prakash, 

Here are some texts to consider with some associated resources. You can also find some H5p activities in the libretext studio which might be helpful H5P Library | LibreStudio (libretexts.org)

• Lifespan Development: A Psychological Perspective Second Edition (Lally and Valentine-French, 2019) (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)

  This age-based approach textbook was written by Martha Lally and Suzanne Valentine-French and was funded by a grant from the College of Lake County Foundation and supported by the Business and Social Sciences Division. Chapter narration files (Andrea Pantoja Garvey, 2022) (CC BY-NC-SA) are available in Canvas Commons.

• Psychology through the Lifespan (Alisa Beyer and Julie Lazzara, 2020) (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)

  Downloadable and viewable at the site. Age-based approach textbook for lifespan developmental psychology course, updated summer 2020.  Google slides (CC BY-NC-SA) developed by Fernando Romero are available.

• Human Growth and Development Question Library (Cotter, Fisk and Grissett, 2018) – Galileo (CC BY-SA)

  This set of questions for use with quizzes and tests was created under a Round Four ALG Textbook Transformation Grant with an accompanying PowerPoint lecture set. The course uses the free and open Human Development sections of Boundless Psychology.

• Lifespan Development (Lumen Learning) (Varied Licenses – terms of each page must be reviewed)

  Includes: PowerPoint Slides, Test Bank, and Instructor Manual (Free registration and/or login required for all). This appears to be a complete book (although it does not appear to have a link that will facilitate download or printing). In addition to the faculty resources (which you can request access to), there are pre-recorded lectures and study guides. Finally, there are a variety of relevant videos.

• Human Development (Callahan, Dose, Wright, Pace, Earl, and Nummerdor, 2020) – Georgia Highlands College (Varied Licenses)

  Instructor resources – discussion questions, video links. Test bank available upon request

• Human Growth and Development (Newton, 2022) – Pressbooks (CC BY)

  Students learn the stages of the human life span: prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, middle childhood, adolescence, adulthood, late adulthood, and death/dying. For each stage of the life span, students examine cognitive, language, emotional, social, personality, and physical development. In addition, students explore the procedures used to conduct research about human development.
  Comment: This text, based on Lifespan Psychology by Laura Overstreet, includes additional material from the Noba Project, OpenStax Psychology, and Understanding the Whole Child by Jennifer Parks, Antoinette Ricardo, and Dawn Rymond, College of the Canyons. Additional noteworthy contributions by the Lumen Learning team and Sarah Carte, Margaret Clark-Plaski, Daniel Dickma, Tera Jones, Julie Lazzara, Stephanie Loalada, John R. Mather, Sonja Ann Miller, Nancee Ott, and Jessica Traylor. Modification, adaptation, and original content authored by Julie Lazzara & Ryan Newton.

You can also search the commons and find some great resources to integrate into a canvas shell.

Hi Professor Mansinghani,

OpenStax — the OER textbook publisher based out of Rice University — is publishing a free online, peer-reviewed, openly licensed Lifespan Development textbook in spring 2024. This textbook will come with LMS course cartridges to integrate the text into your LMS.

Our Psychology textbook offers a chapter on lifespan development. This text comes with free ancillary resources, including a Canvas course cartridge, test bank, and lecture slides.

Please feel free to explore the remainder of our current textbook library here: https://openstax.org/subjects. Additionally, let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Lindsay Josephs

I noticed that our text for Lifespan has been suggested.  We are in the fourth edition not second.  And in the fall it will be edition 5.  Go to the College of Lake County's website for the most recent version.  https://www.clcillinois.edu/programs/psy/openeducation

We typically update every 2 years.
