Thanks Kelli, I'm intrigued by this site: https://inspark.education/ OpenStax is mentioned and it is on the Smart Sparrow platform. Is anyone's institution using the resources? -- Jessica jnplacke(a)gmail.com On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 9:03 AM Kelli Buckreus <kelli.buckreus(a)ualberta.ca> wrote:

Hi Jessica, Don’t know if you got this (it was on the listserve Saturday), but I forwarded the following to our Bio faculty member that is working on our Bio for non-majors OER lab course. Looking at what Suzanne posted, drill a bit deeper - there are some OER bio lab manuals, videos and simulations that you might find interesting. It lists a few colleges who I gather have contributed to the lab course materials.
