In this section, you and your team will engage in a Landscape Analysis to uncover key structures and supports that can guide your work to support Accessibility in OER. You may or may not answer all of these questions, but this is an offering.

The Introductory Financial Accounting digital course enhancements is a comprehensive, open
access resource for accounting instructors to adopt in whole or in part and is designed to
support flexibility for faculty and students. The content areas are divided into modules for ease
of navigation or partial adoption as needed. For consistency we selected a main text and main
source for videos. We provide suggestions for student activities and deliverables for each topic
within the modules.

For the novice instructor, you will find an organized course structure highlighting key content
areas and suggested activities. For the new-to-online, this course offers a structure to follow
and suggestions for engagement that can easily be adapted to online delivery. For the
experienced faculty, our goal was to provide new ideas, engagement activities, and links to
resources that could be shared with students seeking additional support. We’ve also curated
additional resources that are open access and may be beneficial to instructors as supplemental
materials.

The Macroeconomics digital course enhancements is a comprehensive, open-access resource
for economics instructors to adopt in whole or in part, and is designed to support flexibility for
faculty and students. The content areas are divided into modules for ease of navigation or
partial adoption as needed. We don’t have a required textbook even if we often refer to
chapters in the OpenStax’s Principle of Macroeconomics. In addition, we provide suggestions
for student activities and deliverables for each topic within the modules as well as reference
videos and articles.

This Macroeconomics resource is intended to provide flexible adoption options for instructors.
Instructors may use all of the materials in the modules or select what is most appropriate to
enhance existing course materials. We hope this is a useful tool for economics instructors
regardless of expertise level.

Microeconomics may be most accessible to students when instructors can pull current events into the classroom. Teaching the course online makes doing so easier but brings new challenges in graphing, engagement and assessment.

This collection of resources can be utilized by experienced faculty or instructors with minimal teaching background or years of experience in the classroom. Novice instructors may appreciate faculty developed activities, text alignment and videos, while new-to-online faculty will benefit from suggestions of easy-to-use online tools for polling and graphs. The development team included activities for individual students, as well as team exercises and discussion starters.

This is a real-time map of current drought conditions in the US, which can be zoomed to the state level, with access to many more resources at that level. Some of these include the National Drought Regional Summaries and animations of historical data.

EPA has many data sources available, these cover topics including but not limited to air, climate change, health risks, pollutants and contaminants, waste, and water. The data are downloadable and available through the Environmental Dataset Gateway (EDG). The EDG is a source of Web-based geospatial information and information services. It enables data consumers to discover, view, and access geospatial resources made available by EPA's program offices, regions, and labs.

The Library of Congress digital collections include a wide variety of primary source materials documenting presidential inaugurations. This guide includes diaries and letters written by presidents and those who witnessed the inaugurations, handwritten drafts of inaugural addresses, broadsides, inaugural tickets and programs, prints, photographs, and sheet music.

A key objective is providing access to many treasures and other important primary source materials held by the Library of Congress. The collection has been organized chronologically by presidential inauguration.

This guide is adapted from the retired American Memory collection 'I Do Solemnly Swear...': Presidential Inaugurations, which debuted on the Library of Congress's website in November 2000. Selections are drawn from the Manuscript Division, the Prints and Photographs Division, the Rare Book and Special Collections Division, the Music Division, and the general collections of the Library of Congress. Additional photographs were provided by the Architect of the Capitol, the White House, and the United States Senate Office of the Sergeant at Arms.

Preliminary goals to improve accessibility in OER at the University of Virginia, developed by a team of faculty and support staff during the IHE Accessibility in OER Academy. 

Robots today move far too conservatively, using control systems that attempt to maintain full control authority at all times. Humans and animals move much more aggressively by routinely executing motions which involve a loss of instantaneous control authority. Controlling nonlinear systems without complete control authority requires methods that can reason about and exploit the natural dynamics of our machines.
This course discusses nonlinear dynamics and control of underactuated mechanical systems, with an emphasis on machine learning methods. Topics include nonlinear dynamics of passive robots (walkers, swimmers, flyers), motion planning, partial feedback linearization, energy-shaping control, analytical optimal control, reinforcement learning/approximate optimal control, and the influence of mechanical design on control. Discussions include examples from biology and applications to legged locomotion, compliant manipulation, underwater robots, and flying machines.
Professor Tedrake offered an updated version of this course that can be accessed through the edX platform.

Short Description:
Diagnostic Imaging principles and concepts are augmented by the presentation of images for common clinical conditions. Guiding principles related to minimizing radiation exposure and requesting the most appropriate imaging examination are addressed.Static images are enhanced by the ability to access images stored and displayed on an Html-5 compatible, Dicom image viewer that simulates a simple Picture Archive and Communication system (PACS). Users can also access other imaging from the Dicom viewer (ODIN), beyond the basic curriculum provided, to further advance their experience with viewing diagnostic imaging pathologies.This book is also available in three other digital formats: ePUB (for Nook, iBooks, Kobo etc.), PDF (regular print), PDF (large print).

This guide will help you determine whether open access is right for you and your work and, if so, how to make your work openly accessible. This primer on open access explains what “open access” means, addresses common concerns and misconceptions you may have about open access, and provides you with practical steps to take if you wish to make your work openly accessible.

Understanding Open Access: When, Why & How to Make Your Work Openly Accessible provides a scholarly author-oriented look at the ins and outs of open access publishing. The guide addresses common concerns about what “open access” means, how institutional and funder open access policies work, and why authors might consider making their works openly accessible online. It also provides information on how to openly license works, how to tailor licensing permissions, and where authors can consider making their open access works available. The guide includes real-life strategies that authors can use to work with publishers, institutions, and funders to make their works available on the terms most consistent with their dissemination goals.

This module contains five activities, in increasing complexity, that focus on understanding how to interpret and manipulate sea level data, using real data from NOAA. Students first need to understand how to access and interpret sea surface height and tide data. To understand how to interpret these data, students will review and practice computing mean values. Along the way, they will learn how different factors, such as storms, affect tide levels and how to measure them. The goal is for students to become experienced with these kinds of data and the tools for accessing them so that, by the end of the module, they can continue to explore data sets driven by their own inquiry.
