MyOpenMath

Access MyOpenMath


About ResourceDisciplines & LevelContent TypeUsage Rights/Copyright

Summary

MyOpenMath was born out of free, open source software developed by David Lippman, a community college math professor in Washington State, starting in 2005. With a little grant support and a lot of his free time, David ran a state-wide installation of that software at wamap.org. Faculty from around the state got involved, and collaboratively contributed much of the question content now found on MyOpenMath. Out of Open Course Library project in Washington, several complete courses based on open textbooks were created. Other folks got involved, including James Sousa from Phoenix College who contributed a huge collection of questions tied to his video examples.

In 2011 David started MyOpenMath as a way to share with the world this software system and all the great content that had been built around open textbooks. He self-funded the site for the first year, then joined forces with Lumen Learning, who had been using MyOpenMath with the Kaleidoscope Project. Lumen now hosts the MyOpenMath site, and leads continued content development, with plans to provide the full arithmetic-through-calculus sequence in MyOpenMath using open textbooks.

While Lumen Learning now funds MyOpenMath, the development of IMathAS and the content has been supported by several grant projects as well as the time, effort, feedback, suggestions, and dedication of its users. Grants from the Washington State eLearning Council and the Transition Math Project helped develop the platform and create a large set of content.

Courses developed for the Washington State Open Course Library project are a basis for many of the open courses found on MyOpenMath. Others were contributed by faculty, including James Sousa from Phoenix Community College. Many of these courses were improved by contributions and feedback from faculty involved in the Kaleidoscope Project.

The courses that are offered through MyOpenMath are Pre-algebra, Beginning and Intermediate Algebra, Pre-calculus for College Algebra and Trigonometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. They can possibly be offered as a supplement to other courses for students that need a refresher on this particular material.

The primary aim of DOAB is to increase discoverability of Open Access books. Academic publishers are invited to provide metadata of their Open Access books to DOAB. Metadata will be harvestable in order to maximize dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate the records in their commercial services and libraries can integrate the directory into their online catalogues, helping scholars and students to discover the books. The directory is open to all publishers who publish academic, peer reviewed books in Open Access and should contain as many books as possible, provided that these publications are in Open Access and meet academic standards.

MERLOT

Access MERLOT


About ResourceDisciplines & LevelContent TypeUsage Rights/Copyright

Summary

MERLOT is a curated collection of free and open online teaching, learning, and faculty development services contributed and used by an international education community. The MERLOT project began in 1997, when the California State University Center for Distributed Learning developed and provided free access to MERLOT.

In 1998, a State Higher Education Executives Organization/American Productivity and Quality Center (SHEEO/APQC) benchmarking study on faculty development and instructional technology selected the CSU-CDL as one of six best practices centers in North America. Visitations to the CSU-CDL by higher education institutions participating in the benchmarking students resulted in interest in collaborating with the CSU on the MERLOT project. The University of Georgia System, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, University of North Carolina System, and the California State University System created an informal consortium representing almost one hundred campuses serving over 900,000 students and over 47,000 faculty. SHEEO was the coordinator for the cooperative of the four state systems.

In 1999, the four systems recognized the significant benefits of a cooperative initiative to expand the MERLOT collections, conduct peer reviews of the digital learning materials, and add student learning assignments. Each system contributed $20,000 in cash to develop the MERLOT software and over $30,000 in in-kind support to advance the collaborative project. The CSU maintained its leadership of and responsibilities for the operation and improvement of processes and tools.

In January, 2000, the four systems sponsored 48 faculty from the disciplines of Biology, Physics, Business and Teacher Education (12 faculty from each of the four systems) to develop evaluation standards and peer review processes for on-line teaching-learning material. In April, 2000, other systems and institutions of higher education were invited to join the MERLOT cooperative. In July, 2000, twenty-three (23) systems and institutions of higher education had become Institutional Partners of MERLOT. Each Institutional Partner contributed $25,000 and in-kind support for eight faculty and a project director (part-time) to coordinate MERLOT activities. The CSU continued its leadership of and responsibilities for the operation and improvement of processes and tools.

Summary

OpenTextBookStore was created by educators frustrated with the time involved in finding adoptable open textbooks, with the hope to make open textbook adoption easier for other faculty. OpenTextBookStore searches the Internet for the best quality textbooks issued under open licenses that allow for printing. These books are easily adoptable and ready to use in a college classroom.

In their catalog, you’ll find a description of the book, the table contents, and a list of any supplements available for the book. You’ll also find information on license and file formats, and a rating from our editors. If you like the sound of the book, you can visit the book’s webpage, view the book online, or order a copy from one of their print partners.

They are not a publisher. This is solely a listing site for publicly available open textbooks, maintained by a teacher. Print copies are made available through third party print-on-demand companies. Many of the courses have course packages available through MyOpenMath.com, which provides free online homework for several open math textbooks.

How may I use this material?

Copyright is usually used to restrict the rights of the consumer. Open textbooks are textbooks for which the author has granted a set of permissive rights. While slight variations exist on what people consider “open”, they often include:

– The right to use (read) the book without cost, typically through free online viewing
– The right to share the book with others
– The right to modify, adapt, or remix the book to fit your needs
– The right to print the book for your own use

In most cases, the license does require that the original author receive attribution for the work. Some licenses add additional restrictions. OpenTextBookStore only lists books for which the original license allows for commercial use, or for which the author has listed their open textbook on one of our print partners.
