Hello all,

Just sharing some newly developed OER for Medical Terminology:

A Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) workgroup, part of the WTCS OER Network, has developed a free open textbook for Medical Terminology with a printable student companion and Canvas course shell. This textbook has the potential to impact an estimated 8,600+ WTCS college students and 3,300+ dual credit students annually for a collective savings of $895,000 each year!

Medical Terminology Textbook

Medical Terminology Textbook

The textbook contains the core course material. Each chapter introduces students to word parts, key terms, and relevant medical vocabulary. There are interactive activities embedded into each chapter to help students memorize the terms and practice applying them. 

 

Medical Terminology Student Companion

Medical Terminology Student Companion 

The printable student companion adds no new content, but formats the content in a way that is easily printed for student study and review. The interactive activities are translated into a static, printable version, and the contextual content is removed from the essential word parts and medical terminology to be learned.

Canvas Commons

Medical Terminology Canvas Course Shell 

This openly licensed course is aligned with the Medical Terminology textbook and student companion. It contains a variety of materials, assignments, and assessments to support instructors and students of Medical Terminology.

 

There is a more complete description of the project available in the introduction of the Medical Terminology open textbook.

Faculty across the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) are piloting the textbook in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023.Their feedback will inform edits or revisions for the next edition of the book.
