This packet describes the structure of a single-semester introductory economics course with no prerequisites that uses no calculus. The content is primarily constituted of open educational resources (OER). The packet is organized as a 13-week, 26-lecture semester, with problem sets due at the end of each week, midterm exams after lectures 8 and 18, and a final exam at the end of the semester. The included materials correspond to an introductory course taught by the author at Haverford College in the Fall semester of 2020. Instructors may use all or any portion of the included materials that may help them in their own courses.

This open education textbook is comprised of two parts: Analytical Methods of Economics and Intermediate Microeconomics. Each part supports courses (ECON 201 & ECON 300) in Haverford College's Economics curriculum.

This sourcebook offers a carefully-honed selection of Latin authors, predominately from classical antiquity, and supplemented by texts from later periods. The sourcebook purposefully includes both prose and poetry, and a range of genres, including epic, epigram, history, oratory, the letter, and the philosophical essay. Most of the core texts include supplemental notes that will elucidate key grammatical and cultural information for intermediate-level Latin students, as well as provide questions to guide their reading and contextualizing essays on the authors, texts, and ideas with which students are engaging. The book will also include a range of pedagogical resources for students at this level that have been developed and tested through over 15 years of educational practice.

This packet was developed to teach psychological research methods and statistics as a no-cost, open access course. Secondary goals are to teach computational reproducibilty and create teaching materials that can be shared among colleagues teaching similar courses at Haverford College and around the globe. This packet includes links to video lectures, video tutorials, open access textbooks, statistical analysis activities, and a data sharing repository. This packet was developed during the 2020/21 academic year while the course was being taught remotely due to Covid. The syllabus and course materials were developed keeping asynchronous versus synchronous learning in mind.

The second volume of Voci: Corso elementare di lingua e culture italiane consists of 6 Units and includes a textbook, a workbook with answer keys, grammar explanations, and vocabulary lists. Designed for the second semester of Beginning Italian at Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College, Voci is a communicative, approach-based textbook that aims to foster students’ comprehension, production, and interaction in Italian by keeping in mind different ways of learning. To promote an inclusive classroom and provide an accurate portrait of contemporary Italian culture, every unit of Voci offers one or more cultural sections – “Cultura” – whose main goal is not to exercise reading and comprehension skills, but instead to refine students’ intercultural competency.

This OER textbook promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion by ensuring that all students have immediate access to a no-cost learning platform and by presenting a realistic, diverse picture of Italian culture. Incorporating authentic materials such as songs, film clips, commercials, and literary excerpts with subtitles and audible options, Voci provides a diverse student body with rich learning stimuli. Its open structure permits language instructors to update the material to better reflect the issues of the time, such as the changing standards of femininity and masculinity, racial discrimination in Italy, the struggle for citizenship of Afro-Italians, cultural diversity, and the LGBTQIA+ rights. In so doing, students will have the opportunity to understand the transformations of 21st-century Italy and deepen their awareness of cultural variation through cross-cultural comparisons. They will get to know not only a culture of fine arts, major historical gestures, and great genius, but also testimonies from writers of color interpreting Italy, Italian women criticizing the male-centric view of society, and the ongoing debate on migration. Last, they will familiarize themselves with inclusivity issues in the Italian language given its limits in regards to non-binary genders.
