Economics
by Ross, Heather 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Does anyone know of an instructor using the OpenStax Economics text with a test bank, either the one from OpenStax or one that they have created / adapted? Our Economics department is considering it, but has some concerns about the test bank. Heather M. Ross (B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.)

Looking for OER Shop Safety Docs/Power Tool Manual
by Jessica Norman 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

I've had an instructor ask for help locating OERs related to shop safety and power tool use. His exact message: We are planning to put together a "module" or "document/policy" regarding safe use of tablesaws and jointers in our Carpentry and Cabinetmaker shops and wondered what may be available. I've look at MERLOT, Alberta OER, SkillsCommons, OERCommons, OASIS, BCcampus, and the University of Hawai'i. I've found materials related to OSHA, occupational safety, and CCOHS, but not a specific shop manual for carpentry or a manual for power tools. (I need to give the U of H textbook a closer look as some parts may be relevant). I'm hoping someone might have a lead for me! Thanks for any assistance, Jessica [1515697169940_PastedImage] Jessica Norman, MLS eLearning Librarian Library Liaison: Construction, Hospitality & Tourism Reg Erhardt Library Learner and Academic Services Southern Alberta Institute of Technology Stan Grad Centre, MC113 1301 - 16 Avenue NW, Calgary AB, T2M 0L4 (Office) 403.210.4073 jessica.norman(a)sait.ca<mailto:jessica.norman(a)sait.ca> Preferred pronoun: She/Hers/Her
