Wow Cynthia, pretty hard to get a better intro to OER than hanging out with Una and Cable! It sounds like you were really inspired and are having a very positive impact on students as a result! For those who don't know about it, you can read more about the work being done at Project Kaleidoscope here:

Thanks too for the link to the great CCCOER site!

Sounds like an interesting project Annie - just to confirm, DOL is Department of Labour? Is there a plan for how the resources will be used? Will instructors adopt them in courses or will they be used as supplemental resources student can select? Or both? 

An instructor recently sent us a link to some Open Computing Science texts that may be helpful in your work: http://www.opendatastructures.org

Suzanne, I wonder if the A&P text we recently put on our site might be helpful for you? You can take a look at it here: http://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/?uuid=f4873e49-e09c-469e-9ee8-9f14ca5a4e00&contributor=&keyword=&subject=

It's pretty gigantic, but very recently released so hopefully the content is fairly up to date. 

Hi Chris - I just came across this site https://www.myopenmath.com for some research I'm doing, and thought of you. I'm not sure if it's something you can use, but thought I'd pass it along. It's a site that provides free online math practice which is algorithmically graded. 

We also have some math texts on our site for the BC Open Textbook Project at http://open.bccampus.ca/find-open-textbooks/
