Overview
Faculty often need supplemental resources to help students build necessary skills in critical thinking, writing, and learning. Below, I've collected resources that have broad, interdisciplinary appeal. Feel free to recommend them to faculty. Included in this resource list is information about each OER's license and usage. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. If there are additional topics you would like to see covered here, please comment on this article.
