Material Detail

The California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials. This Faculty Showcase represents Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses. This open textbook is being utilized in a Kinesiology course for undergraduate students by April Karlinsky at California State University, San Bernardino.

The open textbook covers the basics of statistical inference for beginners in psychology and related applied disciplines. It uses the free software package JASP and provides example datasets available for download. Written in an accessible style, it provides the learner with a current and balanced view of statistical inference in the psychological and behavioral sciences. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to save students money but also to curate and personalize course content. Most students access the open textbook through the University’s online learning management system, Canvas.
