(This case study was added to OER Commons as one of a batch of over 700. It has relevant information which may include medical imagery, lab results, and history where relevant. A link to the final diagnosis can be found at the end of the case study for review. The first paragraph of the case study -- typically, but not always the clinical presentation -- is provided below.)

A Caucasian male in his early 20's presented with a cutaneous, soft tissue mass of the right lower extremity as well as vascular abnormalities of the mid-3rd phalange. Subsequent pathologic fracture of the proximal 2nd phalange, led to the discovery of multiple osseous lesions of the left foot (below). Excision of the lesions showed similar histologic features in both the soft tissue and bone sites. Long-term follow up was characterized by multiple bone (tibia) and soft tissue recurrences within the tissues of the right lower limb.

Precision Agriculture Basics is three lesson plans to give students a basic understanding of Precision Agriculture.  It includes:1. Definition of Precision Agriculture2. Uses, Tools and Processes of Precision Agriculture3. Variability in Precision Agriculture

This is a fourth lesson in computing variable rate prescriptions.  This lesson utilizes four different fertilizer products for meeting N, P, K and S needs of a corn crop.

6.811: Principles and Practice of Assistive Technology (PPAT) is an interdisciplinary, project-based course, centered around a design project in which small teams of students work closely with a person with a disability in the Cambridge area to design a device, piece of equipment, app, or other solution that helps them live more independently.

Project Laboratory in Mathematics is a course designed to give students a sense of what it’s like to do mathematical research. In teams, students explore puzzling and complex mathematical situations, search for regularities, and attempt to explain them mathematically. Students share their results through professional-style papers and presentations.
This course site was created specifically for educators interested in offering students a taste of mathematical research. This site features extensive description and commentary from the instructors about why the course was created and how it operates.

Short Description:
This book covers the basics of project management.

As a generally noninvasive subset of neuroscience methods, psychophysiological methods are used across a variety of disciplines in order to answer diverse questions about psychology, both mental events and behavior. Many different techniques are classified as psychophysiological. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses, and knowing them allows researchers to decide what each offers for a particular question. Additionally, this knowledge allows research consumers to evaluate the meaning of the results in a particular experiment.

This is a short PowerPoint presentation template that I have created for my students to revise and make functional. After spending a day working with the Pythagorean Theorem, I want my students to work in groups to revise this presentation so that it could be used to introduce the Pythagorean Theorem in a classroom setting.

This 12-problem worksheet is an assessment tool I created to see how well my adult education students grasped my lesson on the Pythagorean Theorem. There are plug-and-chug questions that require the students to solve for the lengths of missing sides and more complicated problems.

Students will complete the Quarter 1 Test for ProStart which includes Unit 1 and 2 from the book. There will be guided questions beforehand on neapod.com. I have linked the game for anyone that would like to use it.

Because ESL Level 1 students may not all be at the same level, some of the readings may be too difficult for some students. However, the emphasis in these activities is to work on reading strategies for all levels of reading, both at the students' level and above it as well.This module can be combined with the others uploaded about grammar, teaching sentence structure, and writing activities to create an entire OER based ESL class for this level.

This module is aimed at college freshmen, although it could be used with slightly older or slightly younger students.  Its purpose is to instruct students on the process of engaging with the kinds of text they are likely to encounter in their first year in college.  Included are an introduction that establishes a set of "rules" for reading text for main ideas and key concepts, a sample text drawn from an OER source, and a model of how to read the text.

This module is aimed at college freshmen, although it could be used with slightly older or slightly younger students.  Its purpose is to instruct students on the process of engaging with the kinds of text they are likely to encounter in their first year in college.  Included are an introduction that establishes a set of "rules" for developing a sense of context for understanding specialized vocabulary and a set of exercises aimed at reinforcing the identified "rules." 

Size, Scales, and Specialization was developed as part of an effort by the Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges group to provide materials that incorporate mathematical concepts into biology courses. The activity uses published estimates of cell type numbers in the human body along with size, density and weight as a lens to have students calculate ratios, explore exponents, and better understand how the various cell types contribute to an average human's total weight and size. The activity is applicable for majors and non-majors biology courses, and maps to Chapter 4 of the OpenStax Biology 2e textbook. This activity could also be used in a mathematics course as a biologically relevant example.

The activity contains a pre-assessment to gauge student understanding of the material and provides an opportunity for students to predict the number of various cell types, as well as the mass of various cell types, in the human body. This prediction activity is followed with a guided approach to calculating these values. After guiding the students in this activity, students will then have a chance to practice the activity on a new set of cell data provided.

After completing this module students should be able to:

- Compare and contrast the structure and function of different cell types.
-- List the largest and the smallest cells in the body based on number.
-- List the largest and the smallest cells in the body based on mass.
- Describe the advantages of specialization in eukaryotic cells.
-- Give examples of how specialization in cell types affects cell size (volume) and shape.
- Perform measurements and conversions using the metric system.
-- Measure the scale of cell size variation in the human body
-- Calculate the relative proportions of cell types in the human body by mass and frequency

Students will be making a Safety and Sanitation Mini Book that will include key concepts that they need to know for the final. Concepts include Time temperature abuse, temperature danger zone, FAT TOM, etc. 

Students are using what they have learned about safety and sanition and completing three different labs with their knowledge. They will predict what might happen when unsaintary elements are in the kitchen, they will set up a refrigerator properly, and they will find safety hazards in a kitchen. After the labs they will summarize their findings and explain how this can be helpful for their lives.

Satellite Engineering introduces students to subsystem design in engineering spacecraft. The course presents characteristic subsystems, such as power, structure, communication and control, and analyzes the engineering trades necessary to integrate subsystems successfully into a satellite. Discussions of spacecraft operating environment and orbital mechanics help students to understand the functional requirements and key design parameters for satellite systems.
