Material Detail

This open textbook is being utilized in a mathematics course for undergraduate or graduate students by Dr. Youngsu Kim at California State University, San Bernardino. The open textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to statistical reasoning with real data applications, supplemented by instructor-developed lecture slides, in-class worksheets, interactive PlayPosit videos, and hands-on R/RStudio exercises. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to provide high-quality, affordable materials that foster data literacy and practical statistical skills. Most students access the open textbook in Canvas.

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 represent Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
