Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in Physics and Astronomy Instruction
No full textThis research project explored instructor assistance in the instruction of astronomy and physics courses using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). The following paper has been published as the result of this work: Approach to Physics Education Using Local AI with RAG for Open Educational Materials Generation. D. Beznosko, T. Krivosheev and A. Iakovlev. In proceedings to 39th International Cosmic Ray Conference, PoS(ICRC2025)1238, 09/2025. https://doi.org/10.22323/1.501.123
Qualitative Research Design Open Course
No full textThis open course for Qualitative Research Design was created under an Affordable Materials Grant. Materials include readings, films, supplemental articles and books, an article critique guide, and citation formatting guides
Digital Photography Open Course
No full textThis set of ancillary materials supports the delivery of Digital Photography as a graduate course taught at the University of West Georgia. The course serves as an elective for students pursuing master\u27s and educational specialist\u27s degrees in Instructional Technology. The course provides foundational knowledge of visual elements, principles, and composition. Furthermore, students learn how to apply the knowledge they have acquired in developing their photography skills
Cloud Analytics Technology Ancillary Materials
No full textThis set of ancillary materials was created under an Affordable Materials Grant. This is a full course shell export from D2L
Work Measurement Study Open Textbook
No full textThis open textbook for Work Measurement Study was created under an Affordable Materials Grant. Topics include charting and diagramming, motion economy and work design, allowances, and static and dynamic direct time study.https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/engineering-textbooks/1014/thumbnail.jp
Construction Materials Lab Manual and Videos
No full textThis lab manual and set of accompanying videos for Construction Materials was created under an Affordable Materials Grant. Topics include aggregates, compression strength, cement, fresh concrete, and hardened concrete.https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/engineering-textbooks/1015/thumbnail.jp
Introduction to Criminal Justice Adoption
No full textThis Adoption for Introduction to Criminal Justice (CRJU 1105) was created under an Affordable Materials Grant. The project replaced a traditional textbook with curated OER—videos, websites, databases, and scholarly articles—aligned to course learning objectives, supported by a D2L template and instructor guides to ensure consistency across sections and modalities. Topics emphasize core criminal justice concepts, real‑world scenarios, research tools, and career exploration, while addressing lessons learned around content volume, organization, and assessment variation.https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/criminal-collections/1008/thumbnail.jp
Differences in Student Perceptions of OER in a Science Core Course
No full textThis research project\u27s findings included racial and ethnic disparities in perceptions of OER, shaped by factors such as prior access to learning resources, technological familiarity, financial constraints, and students’ broader educational experiences
The Logic Book: Critical Thinking
No full textThis critical thinking textbook covers inductive and deductive logic. The deductive chapters cover Venn diagrams, Aristotelian syllogisms, propositional logic translations, and natural deduction. The inductive chapters cover informal fallacies, scientific reasoning, analogical reasoning, causal reasoning, and statistical reasoning.https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/arts-textbooks/1009/thumbnail.jp
