BiOL 2060 Textbook - Microbiology is a website that integrates the OpenStax Microbiology eTextbook with ancillary resources for each chapter chosen by SLCC Biology Department Faculty. This gives a customized experience to students at Salt Lake Community College. A broad range of topics are covered in the 26 chapters with ancillary resources. The opening chapters present an overview of the discipline, with individual chapters focusing on microscopy and cellular biology as well as each of the classifications of microorganisms. Students then explore the foundations of microbial biochemistry, metabolism, and genetics, topics that provide a basis for understanding the various means by which we can control and combat microbial growth. Beginning with Chapter 15, the focus turns to microbial pathogenicity, emphasizing how interactions between microbes and the human immune system contribute to human health and disease. The last several chapters of the text provide a survey of medical microbiology, presenting the characteristics of microbial diseases organized by body system.

BIOL 2065 - Laboratory Manual is a website that integrates materials from open educational resources to create a lab manual is customized for Salt Lake Community College students. Content come from SLCC Biology Department Faculty, OpenStax, and STUDENTfactureED. The Laboratory Manual is free for students and laid out in the following manner: students must read the pre-lab material prior to attending lab each week. Students need to print out and complete the pre-lab worksheet and bring it to lab with them. During the lab time, students can follow the protocol on their electronic format device or use a computer provided in the lab facility. Student also need to print out the lab worksheet and bring it with them to complete during the lab period. This electronic laboratory manual website has been beta tested and is being used for the first semester (2019) in a full lab setting.

The development of this OER textbook was initiated by Salt Lake Community College to provide its students with a low-cost textbook. University of Utah and Weber State University later joined the project. These institution have cooperatively developed a rigorous text. The body of the text conforms to the College Algebra Learning Outcomes identified by the Utah System of Higher Education. In addition to those mentioned as publishers, several others have made substantial contributions creating MyOpenMath homework, video lectures, and providing technical support. At Salt Lake Community College this textbook is used for Math 1050 and Math 1060., PDF of OER Textbook was provided to SLCC Digital Archives by Suzanne Mozdy, Associate Dean of Mathematics, 2019-03-05.

Open English @ SLCC is an evolving digital book created and maintained by English Department faculty at Salt Lake Community College. It exists to provide our faculty–over one hundred full- and part-time instructors–with robust, flexible, and locally produced open educational resources (OER) that can be used for teaching a variety of courses across our composition sequence. The book is organized around a set of six locally-responsive threshold concepts that form the conceptual backbone of how our department approaches the work of teaching reading, writing and rhetoric. These threshold concepts–transformative, integrative and troubling ideas that we feel are essential for any kind of mastery in writing and literate practices–build on foundational work in thresholds by Eric Meyer and Ray Land, in addition to more recent work on threshold concepts in writing by Linda Adler-Kassler, Elizabeth Wardle and many others. Unlike a traditional textbook, the writing in this book invites remix, adaptation, and repurposing to match the specific needs of its users–SLCC writing students and instructors primarily–but also faculty and students at other schools, course designers, WPAS, and anyone else interested in open texts about writing, language and literacy. You can access the OER here: https://openenglishatslcc.pressbooks.com/, PressBooks platform OER Textbook created by the SLCC English Department Faculty at Salt Lake Community College.
This website is dedicated to providing free or open curriculum and resources to anybody who is interested in our geographic world. Using the world as our contributors and content experts, we will strive to make the most engaging, dynamic, and relevant information possible. UPDATE: This website is going through a redesign as of Summer 2018. The content and textbooks will be migrating over to PressBooks to align more with other OER material. If you would like to help, please feel free to contact me at opengeography@gmail.com. Access the website here: https://www.opengeography.org/, Website with OER eTextbooks created by and curated by R. Adam Dastrup, Faculty of Salt Lake Community College.
The content posted to Open Graphic Arts is free to be used by educators for educational purposes. We currently share access to the course materials developed for our own classes, access to public versions of our Canvas courses (Note – Not all content can been seen at the public level), and provide downloadable Canvas courses upon request (which does include access to 100% of the course content). Our OPEN work started with a desire to make all Graphic Communications courses at Salt Lake Community college free or low cost for all students once tuition and fees have been paid. This process began by developing resources, teaching materials, lectures, and recordings to be used in lieu of items requiring hard costs like textbooks, course supplies, and subscriptions specifically geared toward SLCC students. As our processes have expanded internally to include seven fully OER designated courses we have committed to streamlining our OPEN content to be more easily adapted by other high school, college, and university teachers. We are currently working to update all OPEN content to remove SLCC specific information like course numbers, mentioning project specific information within recorded demos and lectures, etc… In addition, we are in the process of formatting our comprehensive slideshow lectures into a more textbook-like format.
