Short Description: CHEM 1114 - Introduction to Chemistry is designed for a one-semester introductory chemistry course. For many students, this course provides their first introduction to chemistry. As such, this textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn some of the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. The text has been developed to meet the scope and sequence of most introductory chemistry courses, including an initial emphasis on the skills required (chapter 1 and 2) for the laboratory portion of the course.

Short Description: Most chemistry textbooks introduce students to the mathematics of chemistry, such as scientific notation, significant digits, and unit conversions. However, many students need to review and practice other mathematical topics, such as powers of ten, metric prefixes and conversions, determining when conversions are exact or measured, solving equations for a variable, and canceling units. This book contains tutorials on these topics, as well as links to more practice problems. It is suitable for any beginning introductory or general chemistry student.

John McMurry's Organic Chemistry is renowned as the most clearly written book available for organic chemistry. In John McMurry's words, "I wrote this book because I love writing. I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words." In Organic Chemistry: A Tenth Edition from OpenStax, McMurry continues this tradition while updating scientific discoveries, highlighting new applications, scrutinizing every piece of art, and providing example problems to assist students. Organic Chemistry: A Tenth Edition continues to meet the scope and sequence of a two-semester organic chemistry course that follows a functional group approach. A highlighted list of changes along with a detailed table of contents and ancillary descriptions can be found on the Instructor and Student resources sections of this page. John McMurry decided to publish Organic Chemistry: A Tenth Edition under an open license as a tribute to his son, Peter McMurry, who passed away from cystic fibrosis in December 2019.

This Introductory Chemistry textbook was developed by the Chemistry faculty at Montgomery College, and provided by Professor Patricia Takahara. The book is meant for students with very little or no background in chemistry. Concepts here are presented at a very basic level in order to provide the foundation for college-level general chemistry. This book is used in Introductory Chemistry, a non-credit, preparatory course at Montgomery College (Maryland).

Short Description: An open textbook that is suitable for the first semester of Organic Chemistry. Basic concepts of the structures and reactivities of organic molecules are covered in this open textbook. Besides the fundamental discussions of organic acids-bases, stereochemistry, IR and NMR, this book also includes the topics of substitution and elimination reactions, radical substitution of alkanes, preparation and reactions of alkenes and alkynes. Long Description: Due to the high price barrier, about half of Organic Chemistry students at KPU do not have access to the textbook. This has become a serious issue that significantly affects the learning outcomes for the course. The creation of this open textbook is intended to provide a solution to this problem and help students get success in this course. The book contains ten chapters, with the contents cover from the basic concepts on chemical bonding, functional group, to stereochemistry, spectroscopy for structure determination (IR and NMR) and organic reactions (nucleophilic substitution, elimination, radical substitution of alkanes, addition and oxidation reactions of alkenes, preparation and reactions of alkynes). Organic Chemistry is a challenging subject for lots students. To help readers understand the concepts more easily, simple and concise languages are intentionally applied in the book. The featured shaded textbox areas are included frequently in the book, where readers can find useful learning tips, reminder of common errors, comparison between similar concepts. To help readers develop the problem-solving skills, a small section labelled as “strategy” is usually given for the examples in the book. Readers are encouraged to try solving the problems by themselves with helpful hints provided in the “strategy”, and then compare their work with the detailed solutions provided afterwards.

Material Type: Textbook
This open textbook is suitable for the college-level first semester of Organic Chemistry. This book covers basic concepts of organic molecules' structures and reactivities with plenty of solved examples. Besides the fundamental concepts, topics of organic acids-bases, kinetics, thermodynamics of reaction, and stereochemistry, this book covers the preparation and reactions of alkyl halides, alkenes, alkynes, and alcohols. Understanding organic chemistry requires active studying. Studying Organic chemistry is akin to playing a new video game or learning to play an instrument. It just doesn’t come easy naturally. One cannot watch other people play piano/video games/teach Organic chemistry and become an expert on it. One must actively play/draw structures using a pencil and paper to draw and redraw structures, write reactions, and explore stereochemistry. Like a painting class!

The OER Canvas is aimed at university lecturers and supports them in collecting ideas for the creation of an OER (open educational resource) for teaching. The Canvas is aimed at teachers who have already had first contact with OER, but still need how-to guide in planning and creating OERs and tips and tricks to do so. The Canvas for creating an OER can be used together with the OER Project Canvas CC BY 4.0 International Schön/Ebner (https://www.slideshare.net/mebner/oercanvas-version-open-education-austria). The Canvas was developed by the Team of TU Graz Educational Technology (Austria) for the Open Education Austria Advanced (OEAA) project as a service for teachers at Austrian universities CC BY 4.0 International TU Graz Educational Technology for Open Education Austria Advanced

Guidelines for designing teaching and learning Short Description: The book examines the underlying principles that guide effective teaching in an age when all of us, and in particular the students we are teaching, are using technology. A framework for making decisions about your teaching is provided, while understanding that every subject is different, and every instructor has something unique and special to bring to their teaching. The book enables teachers and instructors to help students develop the knowledge and skills they will need in a digital age: not so much the IT skills, but the thinking and attitudes to learning that will bring them success. Book release date (third edition): 18 August, 2022. For subsequent updates, see Updates and Revisions in the front matter of the book.

This volume is a result of our annual event, Every Teacher is a Language Teacher, held in 2021 and 2022 at the Faculty of Education of the University of Ottawa. Every year, we organize professional learning workshops for teacher candidates in our program. We invite seasoned teachers and young researchers (many of whom are also teachers!) doing their graduate work at the faculty to share methods, ideas, strategies and activities. Together, our community explores how to work with English and French language learners, as well as learners who come to the classroom with multiple languages in their repertoire. As research and experience have shown us, accessing students’ funds of linguistic and cultural knowledge is a powerful way to include students in the curriculum and center their contributions, identities, and experiences in the learning process. As a community of committed educators, we practice teacher learning with this same mindset – we draw from the personal and professional experiences of our guest presenters and teacher candidate attendees. Together, we speak to the social, cultural and political issues that matter in the classroom and share cutting-edge practices. The chapters in this book are intended for teachers who may or may not have a language teaching specialization. So as to promote equitable access to knowledge, we asked our presenters to write chapters based on their workshops and the experiences they had with our teacher candidates. They write in direct, accessible language and draw on the literature about language learning and teaching grounding their work in tried and tested initiatives. As such, for the reader, we hope the chapters will provide insight into what occurred during the workshops and how they can benefit from these professional learning sessions.
