The Indigenous Education Stock Photos collection was created to address the scarcity of open-source images featuring Indigenous students for OER. Funded by BCcampus and TRU OER Development Grant, developed in consultation with TRU Office of Indigenous Education and stakeholders. This project was supported by Open Learning Production and Media teams and later supported by the Open Press Team to create the website. Contributions welcome (contact Christine Miller for more info.)
Chemistry for Biologists (trubox.ca) by Natasha Ramroop Singh, CC BY-NC-SA
Chemistry for Biologists website: This resource comprises 20 brief videos aimed at explaining fundamental chemistry concepts for university students transitioning into entry-level biology. It aims to support learners in navigating their first year of biology, particularly in Principles of Biology I, focusing on understanding life at meso and micro levels. The lightboard videos were created with support from the OL Media team and the Open Press team to support creation of the H5Ps and the website.
The Cancer Care Education modules guide individuals through their breast cancer journey, covering screening, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, coping, and survivorship. Emphasizing partnership between patients, loved ones, and healthcare professionals, it addresses unique needs—informational, physiological, psychosocial, psychological, emotional, and mental—with strategies for holistic health, culturally appropriate approaches, and complementary medicine. The content development of this website was a culmination of years of research by Melba, and the website creation and design is supported by the Open Press, Brenna Gray and Marie Bartlett and the Open Press team.
Linkage Nursing Genomics (trubox.ca) by Dr. Sarah Dewell, Dr. Trina Walker, and Noopur Swadas CC BY-NC 4.0
LINKAGE is an online hub offering educational content on genomics in nursing practice. Co-developed by nurses, it targets nurse educators and students, though all nurses can benefit. With healthcare evolving, genomics shapes nursing practice, making it crucial for nurses to integrate genomics into assessment, diagnosis, and management, with LINKAGE facilitating this integration. This website and interactive H5Ps are created with the support from the Open Press Team, as well as an independent consultant to do the audio recordings for each section in each module. This work is still in development but will be coming very soon!
