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

Jessica:

FYI. The LibreTexts has the largest collection of Living Labs (i.e., OER content you can edit) out there including both wet and dry labs

Our labs are wired up to take advantage of the other content on the library, which is a guiding principle of our effort - integration not fragmentation of OER content. Let me know if you want to know more about our growing collection of Labs. We have been active in this area over the summer and can guide effort along your interests.

Cheers,

Delmar


We are growing it greatly

Hi Jessica,

 

Don’t know if you got this (it was on the listserve Saturday), but I forwarded the following to our Bio faculty member that is working on our Bio for non-majors OER lab course. Looking at what Suzanne posted, drill a bit deeper - there are some OER bio lab manuals, videos and simulations that you might find interesting. It lists a few colleges who I gather have contributed to the lab course materials.

If you use this original link, they are under the intro to bio with lab sublink under general ed.
