As some of you may have noticed I published an Open Science Resources guide last month, that guide is a work in progress but is targeted toward those working and studying science at UNL. There are a lot of great Open Access resources out there for educators that don’t fit with the way I chose to design my guide.
Educational materials always seem to increase in price, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
In the spirit of promoting Open Access I present to you a multidisciplinary selection of Open Educational Resources that I reviewed but did not include in the Teaching Resources section of my guide to Open Science.
