OER Science at CVTC - Lab Kits to Textbooks and Beyond

Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, Biochemistry and many more science courses at Chippewa Valley Technical College are now textbook free. Over the last eight years the science faculty have consciously worked to lessen or eliminate textbook costs for their students. With the incentive of the pandemic this idea has been extended to include lab kits for online courses. These kits are being sent home with students so that they can have a real hands-on lab experience at home, at no cost to them. We are excited to share our OER ideas and journey while teaching science.
