Session Abstract
To date, there are few OER’s for chemistry. However, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has adopted and adapted the Openstax General Chemistry OER text. CMU has enhanced and added numerous interactive problems, quizzes, and a grade book to the static Openstax text. Currently, there's a similar effort underway at Yavapai College to enhance a popular OER chemistry text (by the Saylor Foundation) for fundamental chemistry. The static problems in the Saylor text have been converted to interactive ones by using CMU’s authoring tools. This presentation will include an overview of the General Chemistry courses Carnegie Mellon has available online and the progress of the fundamental chemistry OER project at Yavapai College.
