SUNY OER Courses
SUNY OER Services offers template courses that can serve as starting points for your own development. You can mix, match, and adapt anything from the courses below quite easily.
These courses are delivered via the Lumen Learning platform, and can be integrated into your LMS (Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle) quite easily.
- Physics (for Non-Majors): This course covers the standard topics of a two-semester algebra-based physics course.
- Physics for Majors Volumes 1–3: This three volume collection of calculus-based physics covers a wide spread of topics. These volumes are currently under development.
Additional Offerings
Beyond what’s already hosted inside the SUNY OER Services platform, many OER collections contain useful material for Physics courses. If you have suggestions of public domain or Creative Commons content to add here, please let us know.
