When we can find well-designed, effective OER that are appropriately licensed, we use them in our courseware. When we can\u2019t find pre-existing OER, we create original content and license it as OER (under a Creative Commons Attribution license).\r\n\r\nLumen\u2019s authoring process doesn\u2019t end when our courseware is released. Our choice to adopt open educational resources means that we have the copyright permissions necessary to engage in continuous improvement of our learning content. Consequently, our courses are continually being revised and updated. Errata reported for our courseware are fixed in a matter of days, as opposed to the traditional model in which errors persist until the next \u201cedition\u201d is printed (often a year or more). Students and faculty can suggest improvements to our courses directly from within the courseware as they use it. And we conduct regular analyses to determine where students are struggling the most in our courseware, and make improvements that specifically target these areas.\r\n\r\nGiven our unique approach, our list of authors and other contributors may look different than the lists you are used to seeing. We provide both a list of the primary content authors (the people involved in the initial creation of the course) and a list of everyone who has contributed suggestions and other improvements to the course since it was first released. We invite you to join us as we create courseware that supports student learning more effectively each semester.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019d like to connect with us to learn more about adopting this course, please\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lumenlearning.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Us<\/a>.\r\n\r\nYou can also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/lumenlearning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make an appointment<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lumenlearning.com\/office-hours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OER Office Hours<\/a>\u00a0to connect virtually with a live Lumen expert about any question you may have.","rendered":"<p>This comprehensive, ready-to-adopt\u00a0<em>Introduction to Psychology<\/em>\u00a0course provides thorough coverage of all topics covered in a typical introductory course, including biological psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social and personality psychology, and mental and physical health.<\/p>\n<p>The course is organized around the recently recommended model from the American Psychological Association, which encompasses the five psychological domains, or pillars: biological psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, social and personality psychology, and mental and physical health psychology (see \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26866987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strengthening Introductory Psychology: A New Model for Teaching the Introductory Course<\/a>\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/openstax.org\/details\/books\/psychology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenStax\u00a0Psychology\u00a0textbook<\/a> as a foundation, this contains other material curated by Lumen Learning and created by Patrick Carroll of the University of Texas at Austin.

When we can find well-designed, effective OER that are appropriately licensed, we use them in our courseware. When we can\u2019t find pre-existing OER, we create original content and license it as OER (under a Creative Commons Attribution license).<\/p>\n<p>Lumen\u2019s authoring process doesn\u2019t end when our courseware is released. Our choice to adopt open educational resources means that we have the copyright permissions necessary to engage in continuous improvement of our learning content. Consequently, our courses are continually being revised and updated. Errata reported for our courseware are fixed in a matter of days, as opposed to the traditional model in which errors persist until the next \u201cedition\u201d is printed (often a year or more). Students and faculty can suggest improvements to our courses directly from within the courseware as they use it. And we conduct regular analyses to determine where students are struggling the most in our courseware, and make improvements that specifically target these areas.<\/p>\n<p>Given our unique approach, our list of authors and other contributors may look different than the lists you are used to seeing. We provide both a list of the primary content authors (the people involved in the initial creation of the course) and a list of everyone who has contributed suggestions and other improvements to the course since it was first released. We invite you to join us as we create courseware that supports student learning more effectively each semester.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to connect with us to learn more about adopting this course, please\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lumenlearning.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/lumenlearning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make an appointment<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lumenlearning.com\/office-hours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OER Office Hours<\/a>\u00a0to connect virtually with a live Lumen expert about any question you may have.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t <section class=\"citations-section\" role=\"contentinfo\">\n\t\t\t <h3>Candela Citations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t <div id=\"citation-list-4703\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <div class=\"licensing\"><div class=\"license-attribution-dropdown-subheading\">CC licensed content, Original<\/div><ul class=\"citation-list\"><li><strong>Provided by<\/strong>: Lumen Learning. <strong>License<\/strong>: <em><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"license\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\">CC BY: Attribution<\/a><\/em><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t <\/section>","protected":false},"author":29,"menu_order":1,"template":"","meta":{"_candela_citation":"[{\"type\":\"original\",\"description\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"organization\":\"Lumen Learning\",\"url\":\"\",\"project\":\"\",\"license\":\"cc-by\",\"license_terms\":\"\"}]","CANDELA_OUTCOMES_GUID":"","pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-4703","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":4818,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/4703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"version-history":[{"count":156,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/4703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8116,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/4703\/revisions\/8116"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/4818"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/4703\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=4703"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=4703"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/waymaker-psychology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=4703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
