Good morning everyone,
A professor at the University of Regina is currently using the OpenStax Biology 2e
textbook as supplementary material in his BIOL 100 course (for biology majors).
Do you know if anyone is adapting Biology 2e for a Canadian audience or adapting the
existing ancillary material to support use of this open textbook?
Thanks very much for your consideration.

Hi Elsa,
I'm not aware of this specific adaptation. However, two BC instructors, Charles
Molnar from Camosun College and Jane Gair from UVic, developed a major adaptation of
OpenStax' Concepts of Biology called: Concepts of Biology- 1st Canadian
Edition<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=a2086095-a679-4e33-b0dd-f5b96192fba1&contributor=&keyword=&subject=Biology>.
It comes with several ancillary resources including PPT slides, lab manual &
assignments, and instructional videos.
Regards,
Lauri
