A&P I Lab is an introductory laboratory course for all allied health majors.  It is important for students to get the foundation needed to be successful in their clinical courses.  One major barrier is the use of textbooks where cost may be a barrier to success in foundational courses.  To this end, I will use an open resource to help enhance the learning of the muscles in A&P I Lab thereby reducing costs associated with A&P I Lab and the Anatomage 3D anatomy system.

In this course we will explore the new emerging field of pathogen-induced chronic diseases. Work in this field has redefined the causes of some major disorders, such as ulcers. By reading the primary research literature we will learn about the molecular mechanisms through which pathogens cause disease. The diseases that we cover will be introduced with a short patient case study. We will discuss the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and gastric disease, HPV and cervical cancer, hepatitis C virus and liver disease, Epstein-Barr virus and lymphoma, Cytomegalovirus and atherosclerosis, as well as diabetes and multiple sclerosis. We will study technical advances in the fight against microbes and explore future directions for new treatment strategies of chronic infections and inflammation. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching.

This revision of the Georgia Highlands College Laboratory Manual for Foundations of Biology was made possible through a Round Twelve ALG Mini-Grant for Ancillary Materials and Revisions. Lab exercises include:

The Scientific Method
Organic Molecules
Microscopy
Cell Structure & Function
Enzyme Function
Cellular Respiration and Exercise
Isolation of Photosynthetic Pigments
DNA Extraction from Strawberries
Gel Electrophoresis, Restriction Enzymes Fingerprinting
Mitosis & Meiosis

The online geology lab for community college students was developed by Dr. Rondi Davies, a faculty member at Queensborough Community College, City University New York, during two years of forced online synchronous learning brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. This open educational resource collects many of Dr. Davies’ favorite open-access materials and supplements them with her own work within a single, cohesive laboratory manual intended for two-year, non-major college students from the New York area.

In this lab, the student will review the physiology of the organ systems by using images of models, experiments, and videos. Then the student will be asked to assess his or her knowledge, which can eventually be put to practical or experimental use. Upon successful completion of this lab supplement, students will be able to: describe techniques used to measure the function of organ systems; relate diagnostic tools, such as those used to measure ECG, EEG, and EMG activity, and those used in spirometry and urinalysis tests, to the physiological processes; relate diagnostic tests, such as the patellar and plantar reflex tests, to physiological processes; perform laboratory observations and experiments; collect, analyze, and interpret data; and form conclusions.

This lab course supplements ĺÎĺĺĺŤIntroduction to Evolutionary Biology and EcologyĄ_ĺĺö. Although it does not replicate a true lab experience, it does encourage greater familiarity with scientific thinking and techniques, and will enable exploration of some key principles of evolutionary biology and ecology. This lab supplement focuses on visual understanding, application, and practical use of knowledge. In each unit, the student will work through tutorials related to important scientific concepts and then will be asked to think creatively about how that knowledge can be put to practical or experimental use. Upon successful completion of this lab supplement, the student will be able to: Display an understanding of Mendelian inheritance as applied to organisms in virtual experiments; Describe the process of natural selection and understand how it will alter populations over generations and under a variety of selection pressures; Understand how the process of speciation is affected by isolation and selection pressures; Understand predator-prey dynamics under a variety of ecological conditions; Distinguish between biomes in terms of their structure/climates as well as the types and diversity of organisms that inhabit them.

This is a laboratory manual covering DC electrical circuits, typically a first year course for students in an Electrical Engineering Technology program. It begins with basic lab introduction and progresses through Ohm's Law to series, parallel and series-parallel circuits. Includes exercises involving Superposition, Thevenin's Theorem, Mesh and Nodal Analysis, Maximum Power Transfer and concludes with an introduction to capacitors and inductors.

This work is an OER book review by Debra Jackson, Ph.D. of Louisiana Delta Community College. In this review, she thoughtfully analyzes the original work by Julie Robinson, which is a lab manual meant for the first iteration of anatomy and physiology.
