This courses presents grammar and composition skills for upper-level ESOL students using the social justice themes of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The course addresses specifically definition, cause-and-effect, and discussion essays using a paragraph-to-essay writing process.

This training from Open Oregon Educational Resources is designed to orient Revising Authors to the skills and strategies necessary to meet Targeted Pathways equity-minded outputs: student-centered textbooks that fully integrate with dynamic courses. This training includes five modules of asynchronous content. Each module builds toward a synchronous learning opportunity to join with fellow Revising Authors to assess skills and knowledge of concepts.

This is an entry level blueprint reading book written for the first year welding student. The book will be used in the first term of a two year welding program to familiarize the student to sketching and reading blueprints.

This book has been designed to serve students who are taking Earth Science as a requirement for their science credit at Linn Benton Community College. We cover the following topics as a Earth Science survey: The Nature of Science, Basic Astronomy, the Rock Cycle and the three major rock types, Plate Tectonics, Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Components of the Hydrological Cycle (Rivers, Groundwater, Oceans, Glaciers), Weather, and Earth Systems and Humans. Much of the material in this book was borrowed from O.E.R. sources provided by Karla Panchuk at Saskatchewan BC (Physical Geology, 1st edition), and Steven Earle (Physical Geology, 2nd Edition). We modified some chapter content from the preexisting OERs, as well as wrote and compiled chapters 1 and 17 in an attempt to relate students more with the sciences. We hope that you enjoy this free educational resource!

This developmental-level mathematics textbook is intended for career-technical students. It is FREE online and costs $17.35 in print plus shipping; don't get tricked into paying for access!

The Principles of Biology sequence (BI 211, 212 and 213) introduces biology as a scientific discipline for students planning to major in biology and other science disciplines. Laboratories and classroom activities introduce techniques used to study biological processes and provide opportunities for students to develop their ability to conduct research.

• BI211 focuses on how structure defines function in organisms and the pathways and transformation of energy in living systems.
• BI212 uses genetics as a model system to understand information flow in living organisms.
• BI213 focuses on the interactions of living systems and the ecology and evolution of biodiversity.

This book is designed as an Open Education Resource (OER) for introductory nutrition courses and has been adopted for use in high schools and colleges. Topics covered include basic nutrition and metabolism, information literacy, body weight and health, nutrition across life stages, dietary supplements, an in-depth look at each of the macronutrients, and major functions of vitamins and minerals. The second edition of Nutrition: Science and Everyday Application was released in August 2022. The second edition includes a fully revised Unit 7 (Body Weight and Health) and minor revisions to Unit 10 (Nutrition and Physical Activity). In June 2023, Unit 2 (Nutrition Science and Information Literacy) was significantly updated along with the ancillary materials for Unit 2. The remainder of the OER and the accompanying ancillary materials are the same as the first edition, originally published in December 2020.
