The text, labs, and review questions in this book are designed as an introduction to the applied topic of computer security (cybersecurity). With these resources students will learn ways of preventing, identifying, understanding, and recovering from attacks against computer systems. This text also presents the evolution of computer security, the main threats, attacks and mechanisms, applied computer operation and security protocols, main data transmission and storage protection methods, cryptography, network systems availability, recovery, and business continuation procedures.

This course is designed to familiarize students with basic computer architecture and operating systems and the relationships between hardware and operating systems will be explored. A student who successfully completes this course will also be able to gain strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology. Basic concepts are reinforced by exercises, and hand-on applications. Students will also program and run simple macros in Linux shell. Employability skills, such as Problem solving, Teamwork, Communications and Critical Thinking are integrated into the course work.

As taught in Semester two 2009.

This module looks at aspects of contemporary French culture in the context of an increasingly globalised culture and economy. In part, the module explores recent attempts to defend, redefine and interpret key aspects of French identity and culture as a means of negotiating ways of living in an era of globalisation and changing social structures.

The module focuses on aspects of everyday life in France that are charged with political and economic significance, namely food/wine production and consumption and sport. These areas all raise questions about a range of issues: the national and the ‘local’ versus the global; constructions of Frenchness in opposition to America; the decline of rural France; the contemporary redefinition of mythical national figures in the shape of le paysan; the continuity and significance of established French values and cultural practices; and the maintenance of a distinctively French social model in the face of globalisation.

A key component of the module delivery will be an in-depth analysis of the much discussed recent documentary film Mondovino, which examines the cultural and economic significance of global wine production. We will also look at the cultural significance of contemporary French football, with particular reference to the successful French national team of 1998 and 2000.

This module is suitable for study at undergraduate level 1.

Collection of OER materials created for use in a computer science introductory class, including a syllabus and 10-week schedule with projects, resources, and discussion topics. Also includes guidelines for a final project.

These materials are for use with the Openstax Biology 2e textbook. I have included a schedule and guided notes for each chapter to aid in student reading. The attached documents are all word documents so they can be changed as desired. In addition to the Biology 2e textbook, I did use some modules from simbio (DNA explored, Mitosis, Meiosis, and Cell Respiration) these also appear in the notes. If you have questions I welcome you to contact me. 

This course package will help not only the Educators but also the students in finishing their course in Philippine History, Government, and Constitution.

The attached file is our syllabus for the Introductory Statistics course that we are teaching as an OER course. The summary of the syllabus is as follows.This course uses MyOpenMath for testing students' knkowledge via homework and quiz assessments. MyOpenMath is an open platform for students to use without any additional access fees like the one for our other statistics courses which charge an extra fee to use a different online platform.This course uses MS Excel as the statistical tool. We have created templates for students to use to evaluate statistics for a given data. Students have access to all Microsoft products via their college account without any extra charge. Using Excel also eliminates the need for buying a calculator.A big part of the course is the project, which is based on real world data. Students are provided with data in a spreadsheet by the instructor. Data is mined from public domains. Students are to submit their input using MS Word and MS Excel.We are also using MS Teams to record additional video resources on using Excel for statistics.
