DNA: The Human Body Recipe

Rating
0.0 stars

As a class, students work through an example showing how DNA provides the "recipe" for making our body proteins. They see how the pattern of nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine) forms the double helix ladder shape of DNA, and serves as the code for the steps required to make genes. They also learn some ways that engineers and scientists are applying their understanding of DNA in our world.

Discover Psychology - PSY 111 GCC (Doninger)

Noba Project (www.nobaproject.com) is an OER psychology textbook. Noba offers a ready-made full textbook (https://nobaproject.com/textbooks/introduction-to-psychology-the-full-noba-collection) and a ready-made brief textbook (https://nobaproject.com/textbooks/discover-psychology-v2-a-brief-introductory-text). Faculty can select from among the many chapters to customize their own textbook - which is what I did.

For most of the chapters within Noba, there is a Cerego quiz. This is an adaptive learning technology that asks students to assess their mastery and then answer questions. There is no penalty for wrong answers and students can take as much time as they want with the quizzes. The quizzes rely on distributed practice to deepen learning. Students cannot complete the quizzes in one sitting. Students complete the free registration and receive reminders when it is time to review the text and pick up the quizzes again.

Below I will list the authors for the chapters that are included in the customized book for my classes.

This site is for educators (and anyone else) who may be interested in the ways that death and evil shape how we interact with others and shape our world.By engaging with the ideas of Hannah Arendt and Ernest Becker, as well as borrowing from terror management theory (TMT) in social psychology, we hope to provoke thinking about how our conscious and unconscious approaches to evil and death impact education (and our lives).We hope to update this site regularly with new ideas and lessons, so keep checking back!

Her Şey Bir Merhaba ile Başlar is a multimedia textbook with supplementary materials for intermediate Turkish language learners.

The textbook and public Canvas course comprise an openly licensed curriculum focused on developing Intercultural Communicative Competence. The four units invite learners to engage with culturally rich print, audio and video texts and use the target language to investigate, explain and reflect on the relationship between contemporary Turks’ socio-cultural practices, products and perspectives. Each unit addresses a different aspect of society: family, love and marriage, the environment, and art and politics, and contains the following components:

- contextualized grammar lessons,
- videos of Turks speaking about their lives and their country,
- activities that hone language skills while raising awareness about contemporary Turkish society,
- interactive, auto-correct exercises that facilitate learners’ acquisition of vocabulary and syntax structures.

The Her Şey Bir Merhaba ile Başlar textbook is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. It is now downloadable for free in PDF or adaptable Google Docs format and is also available for purchase as a print-on-demand book from Lulu.com and Amazon.com. The Canvas course will be launching later in Spring 2021.
