Additional Resources
Student and Instructor Resources
We’ve compiled additional resources for both students and instructors, including Getting Started Guides,
lecture slides, and a Test Bank.
The most robust of these is the Instructor Resource Manual, developed by author Amy Baldwin based on
extensive experience and requests from faculty reviewers and survey respondents. For each chapter, the IRM
will contain:
• Detailed teaching suggestions
• Bloom’s Taxonomy matrix, indicating the alignment of each chapter activity and application to the level of
Bloom’s it fulfills.
• Overarching “big picture” questions from the chapter
• Topical and cumulative case scenario activities, which present a realistic situation based on the concepts,
and ask students to respond via writing or another method. These may be adapted and assigned by
instructors.
Instructor resources require a verified instructor account, which you can apply for when you log in or create
your account onOpenStax.org. Instructor and student resources are typically available within a few months
after the book’s initial publication. Take advantage of these resources to supplement your OpenStax book.

Community Hubs
OpenStax partners with the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) to offer
Community Hubs on OER Commons—a platform for instructors to share community-created resources that
support OpenStax books, free of charge. Through our Community Hubs, instructors can upload their own
materials or download resources to use in their own courses, including additional ancillaries, teaching
material, multimedia, and relevant course content. We encourage instructors to join the hubs for the subjects
most relevant to your teaching and research as an opportunity both to enrich your courses and to engage with
other faculty.
To reach the Community Hubs, visit www.oercommons.org/hubs/OpenStax.

Technology Partners
As allies in making high-quality learning materials accessible, our technology partners offer optional low-cost
tools that are integrated with OpenStax books. To access the technology options for your text, visit your book
page onOpenStax.org.
