Academic Affairs
FLC faculty have been busy developing open education materials (OER) to share with educators far and wide. Take a look at what they've created incorporating OER, and developing new materials from scratch. Incorporate relevant materials into your own courses, or find inspiration in your peers' creativity.
The OER available here vary. Some packages include a semester-long course; others include specific modules or lessons. All of these materials are in the Canvas learning management system (LMS). You can export the materials, and import them into your own Canvas course shell or into a different LMS.
The following materials are available for you to use as they are or adapt to augment your own courses.
Designed by Dr. Steven Fenster, FLC Biology department
You’ll find 6 weeks of modules that provide an introduction to causes and mechanisms of human illness and death, designed for non-science majors. Course contains syllabus, discussion topics, quizzes and reading assignments.
Designed by Michelle Bonanna, Dr. Nancy Cardona, Ryan Dubas, Dr. Erik Juergensmeyer, Dr. Jillian Wenburg, FLC English department
Incorporate material from a collection of modules organized by themes such as genre, grammar, rhetorical analysis, and style. Materials use an anthology of readings to explore topics of literacy experiences, and the situational dependency of “good” writing.
ES 335 | Designed by Dr. Melissa Thompson, FLC Public Health department
Get a full semester of course materials covering kinematics, kinetics, and materials properties. Includes modules, labs, readings, assignments. Use the whole course, or fit sections into your own course.
Designed by Dr. Mickey Campbell & Dr. Jon Harvey, FLC Geosciences department
You'll find 12 modules of material developed for a 300-level geography course. Each module is approximately one week of coursework. Use all 12 modules or fit portions of the material into your own course of a similar scope.
