Introduction to OER for Biology

Introduction

Welcome to the ASCCC OERI Resource Page for Biology. This space is intended to provide faculty in the discipline with a collection of resources that have been subject to a peer-review process and/or that have been selected for use by faculty in the California community colleges. In addition to providing you with access to resources, this is also a place to interact with your colleagues.

The pages will be built as a collaborative process.  Please let us know if you are using one of these resources (or a different resource) and we will add that information to the page. Also, please let us know if you'd like to add a resource to the list.  Suggested ASCCC OERI Resource Form. Links to an external site.
