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.

Principles of Economics: Scarcity & Social Provisioning covers the scope and sequence requirements for a two-semester introductory economics course. The authors take a balanced approach to micro- and macroeconomics, to both orthodox and heterodox schools of thought, and to the theory and application of economics concepts. The text also includes many current examples, which are handled in a politically equitable way, and extensive data up to date as of 2023.

BI102: Survey of Molecular Life and Genetics is intended for one term of the introductory biology course for non-science majors taught at many two- and four-year colleges. The concepts of genetics, as they apply to the study of life, are introduced, including the principles of inheritance, genetics, and gene regulation.

This textbook incorporates the mandates found in Vision and Change and focuses on the non-content aspects of biology education that are just as important. Additionally, this book explicitly teaches the general education outcomes that we have identified as important for this class. This textbook pulls together biology content resources that are accessible for our community college non-major biology students, as well as resources to provide them with explicit instruction in the quantitative literacy, communication, and information literacy general education outcomes as they relate to the biology content they are learning.

An open textbook that gives students an overview of the kinds of writing they’ll be expected to do in upper-level college courses, the workplace, and beyond. The book covers the main elements of technical communication and provides students opportunities to put those elements into practice. It explores how writers locate, create, and deliver technical information, such as emails, memos, and progress reports. Students learn about writing descriptions, summaries, instructions, and various technical. In addition, students learn the importance of audience and purpose in technical communication and how to choose a format and style appropriate for their project goals.

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.
