This adaptive courseware explores the ecological and evolutionary causes of selfishness and cooperation in human societies. Students apply biological models to predict patterns of behavior in human populations and evaluate these models with empirical data. Students will develop new scientific and philosophical perspectives on human behavior by integrating ideas from complementary disciplines, including biology, psychology, anthropology, criminology, sociology and philosophy. The Why People, Lie, Cheat and Steal course has been crafted in close collaboration with faculty at Arizona State University. It is based on content from faculty, open educational resources and enriched with dozens of video clips and interactive elements.
This course introduces the art and science of psychology by examining biopsychology, perception, learning, memory, language, thought, motivation, personality, emotion, stress, development, social psychology, psychological disorders and therapies, and scientific research methods. It explores how to apply the “science of human behavior” to a variety of settings: vocational, personal, academic, and clinical. Finally, it covers the history of psychology and major theories of personality and learning.
This adaptive courseware introduces the world of plants, starting with horticultural terminology and the history of plant use. Students will then learn about the science behind plants, including the cells that make them, the parts they are composed of, and the processes occurring inside of them.
This adaptive courseware discusses the principles of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans. The Genetics course has been crafted in close collaboration with faculty at Arizona State University. It is based on faculty and instructional content enriched with dozens of video clips and interactive elements.
Developed by the American Psychological Association, this personalised digital learning solution covers the full introductory Social Psychology course curriculum. Designed by psychology instructors and professionals with extensive teaching experience, PsycLearn immerses students in engaging course material in multiple formats, including videos, graphics, and interactive activities. Students complete formative assessments to gauge their understanding and get just-in-time feedback to reinforce clear learning objectives. Allowing for spaced practice, PsycLearn guides students in making informed judgments of their learning while they build skills and master concepts. PsycLearn's unique design uses learning science research to support deeper classroom instruction. A comprehensive data dashboard provides instructors with the tools to effectively address individual and class-wide progress, and a test bank and correlated activity guides help instructors enrich the overall learning experience.
This adaptive courseware introduces students to the tools and techniques of biotechnology, with specific examples from daily life. Topics include lab safety; measurements; genetic engineering, working with DNA and genetic technology applications; food production; biofuels; plant and animal modifications; natural resources; and intellectual property and bioethics.
This course will explore the basis, history, and impact of evolution. It will build an understanding of the processes of adaptive change and speciation. It aims to develop an ability to critically evaluate/analyze biological information about evolution, using basic genetics, math, and phylogenetics.
This is an introductory course in both – formal and informal logic. It provides you with the tools to evaluate and construct arguments in a more rigorous and precise way. Topics cover fallacies and intellectual virtues, propositional logic, including symbolization and rules of inference, categorical logic, including rules for categorical syllogism, and methods for extracting and evaluating arguments, including evidence and probability.
This adaptive courseware helps students prepare for careers related to the construction, operation, and maintenance of equipment used by the agriculture industry. Students will explore topics including safety, woodworking, electrical systems, plumbing, small engines, machinery operation, concrete, and welding technology.
This adaptive courseware provides survey coverage of major topics in cell biology, including structural, biochemical, and molecular aspects of cell function. Cell Biology has been crafted in close collaboration with faculty at Arizona State University. It is based on faculty and instructional content, and enriched with dozens of video clips and interactive elements.
What is your first reaction when you hear the word 'physics'? As you begin your exploration of this broad-ranging subject, you may soon come to realize that physics plays a much larger role in your life than you first thought, no matter your life goals or career choice. This adaptive and interactive courseware covers key topics of algebra-based physics, from an initial prerequisite mathematical concepts review, to applying these concepts to solve various physics problems across the course. Combine with College Physics II depending on your curricular needs.
Physics is concerned with describing the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, and it is especially interested in what fundamental mechanisms underlie every phenomenon. This term, you will explore topics including Newtonian mechanics, electricity, and magnetism, thermal physics, optics, and modern physics. Combine with University Physics I depending on your curricular needs.
This adaptive courseware discusses the principles of biological concepts emphasizing fundamental principles and the interplay of structure and function at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population levels of organization. Easily configure the topics into a single course or split into a Gen Bio I and II to meet your curricular needs. General Biology has been crafted in close collaboration with faculty at Arizona State University. It is based on OpenStax content, and enriched with dozens of video clips and interactive elements.

This adaptive courseware provides an introduction to biology for non-science majors. Teach the scientific knowledge, processes, and tools that help understand the amazing biology we encounter in our living world. Introduction to Biology has been crafted in close collaboration with faculty at Arizona State University. It is based on OpenStax content, and enriched with dozens of video clips and interactive elements.
This adaptive courseware examines natural resources in the following categories: soil, forest, water, fish and wildlife, and energy, as well as the human impact on them. It also encourages students to think about the following questions: Do natural resources exist only for humans to use? Are we apart from nature, or a part of nature? In what ways are we similar to other species? How are we different? How do those similarities and differences help us to define our responsibilities to 'nature' – to other species and our physical environment?
This course focuses on the traits, classification, evolution and life history of vertebrates. It examines how environmental change drives the evolution of physiological, morphological, and behavioral features in vertebrates.
