JCU Library staff are pleased to announce that Introduction to Health Science has now been published as an Open Education Resource (OER).
This text focuses on the information that is typically assumed knowledge in a first semester, first year anatomy and physiology subject. It is “what I wish I knew before I started my degree” essential reading for health sciences. This text may be particularly helpful for students who didn’t take senior-level science subjects in Australian secondary schools.
This
resource was edited by JCU academic author, Dr Vicki Dunk.
Introduction to Health Science is freely available to read and download from the JCU Open eBooks website.
This development of this resource was facilitated by the JCU Open Educational Resources Program
The JCU Open Educational Resources Program is a project in the Education Division, spearheaded by JCU Library. The aim of the project is two-fold:
- To support lecturers in adopting, adapting and creating Open Educational Resources including textbooks and workbooks in order to better support the learning of our students at JCU.
- To make information about the people and places of the Tropics more widely accessible and understood. More than 40% of the world's population live in the Tropics and 40% of the world's surface is within the Tropics, but the area is often underrepresented in teaching materials. The JCU Open Educational Resources Program aims to provide more access to knowledge and information about this key region.
