Authors Thomas Sauter and Marco Albrecht draw on a multidisciplinary background and evidence-based learning to facilitate the understanding of biochemical networks, metabolic modeling and system dynamics. Their pedagogic approach briefly highlights core ideas of concepts in a broader interdisciplinary framework to guide a more effective deep dive thereafter. The learning journey starts with the purity of mathematical concepts, reveals its power to connect biological entities in structure and time, and finally introduces physics concepts to tightly align abstraction with reality. This workbook is all about self-paced learning, supports the flipped-classroom concept, and kick-starts with scientific evidence on studying. Each chapter comes with links to external YouTube videos, learning checklists, and Integrated real-world examples to gain confidence in thinking across scientific perspectives. The result is an integrated approach that opens a line of communication between theory and application, enabling readers to actively learn as they read. This overview of capturing and analyzing the behavior of biological systems will interest adherers of systems biology and network analysis, as well as related fields such as bioinformatics, biology, cybernetics, and data science.13582023-03-06T17:33:03Z2024-03-17T00:55:46ZEarly Childhood Literacy: Engaging and Empowering Emergent Readers and Writers, Birth – Age 5<img alt="Read more about Early Childhood Literacy: Engaging and Empowering Emergent Readers and Writers, Birth – Age 5" title="Early Childhood Literacy: Engaging and Empowering Emergent Readers and Writers, Birth – Age 5 cover image" class="cover " width="600" height="800" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDU4OCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--c395fb549a4765cda08b26621c1a6b7953e01be5/Final-Cover-resized.jpeg" />This textbook, Early Childhood Literacy: Engaging and Empowering Emergent Readers and Writers Birth-Age 5, outlines the connection between different areas of language and literacy and describes strategies for supporting development and promoting instruction. Early literacy includes reading, writing, and language development. Writing includes any early writing attempts and pre-writing behaviors just as reading includes any early reading attempts and recognition of symbols and sounds. Language also includes listening and speaking (oral language) and the use of gestures and signs to communicate. The term oral language is commonly used to describe early language development separately from reading and writing. This text assumes oral language is a component of language and embraces the broader term to underscore the communication practices outside of listening and speaking. For example, some children use sign language or a picture board. For these reasons, the textbook will focus on language development in its totality, including oral language. This textbook is focused on birth to age 5 because early literacy development is crucial for future learning and development.13532023-02-27T16:31:21Z2024-01-22T14:52:40ZIntroduction to Biological Psychology<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Biological Psychology" title="Introduction to Biological Psychology cover image" class="cover " width="476" height="648" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDU3MiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--a8a98fb95f05e7bda85e3263eab4f657e46edf35/Screen%20Shot%202023-02-27%20at%2010.28.08%20AM.png" />An open access textbook designed primarily for use by first and second year undergraduate students of British Psychological Society accredited Psychology degree courses in the UK.13502023-02-20T14:52:29Z2024-01-22T14:52:40ZPRODUCCIÓN DE NOTICIAS TELEVISIVAS EN ESPAÑOL EN ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMÉRICA<img alt="Read more about PRODUCCIÓN DE NOTICIAS TELEVISIVAS EN ESPAÑOL EN ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMÉRICA" title="PRODUCCIÓN DE NOTICIAS TELEVISIVAS EN ESPAÑOL EN ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMÉRICA cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="994" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDU1NiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--70d2019388d7d70fdf73625585716e442e2967d6/MicrosoftTeams-image-1-768x994.jpeg" />Producción de Noticias Televisivas en Español en Estados Unidos de América es el primer Recurso Educativo Abierto (REA) dedicado exclusivamente al tema.

Be sure to also review the FAQ section for answers to commonly asked questions about technical aspects of this textbook.13032022-12-14T15:55:22Z2024-01-22T14:52:36ZIntroduction to Neuroscience<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Neuroscience" title="Introduction to Neuroscience cover image" class="cover " width="683" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDM2NywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--93f6e15a53c6e3d1d551a02ec7e1cf82713ad0c9/Intro-to-Neuro-cover-final-jpg.jpeg" />Introduction to Neuroscience is designed for undergraduate students enrolled in introductory neuroscience courses. This book specifically targets students enrolled in Introduction to Neuroscience 1 and Introduction to Neuroscience 2 at Michigan State University and primarily contains topics covered in those courses. This first edition will guide students through the structure and function of nervous system cells and nervous system structures, signaling within the nervous system, and introduce various sensory systems. A future edition that will be completed in spring 2023 will include the somatosensory system, motor systems, motivation and reward, stress, sex and the brain, emotions, nervous system disorders, learning, and memory. This text has been remixed and revised from two different open educational resources aimed at undergraduate neuroscience students: Foundations of Neuroscience by Casey Henley, Michigan State University The Open Neuroscience Initiative by Austin Lim, DePaul University In addition, new original content has been added to supplement what was provided in the above texts. The text includes many images and animations throughout and will be divided into shorter chapters that focus on a single topic. As this text is meant for undergraduate students, the writing is aimed at students that have not taken a neuroscience course before. Neuroscience terminology will be defined throughout the text through the use of the embedded Glossary terms to help with ease of reading. Additionally, important terms are bolded. Each chapter will end with an interactive quiz for student self-evaluation of the content. Find errors or have suggestions? Please email hedgesva@msu.edu
