Description: TRU Open Press is excited to support Iain in developing an engaging Open Educational Resource featuring a series of short instructional lightboard videos that will demystify essential algebra topics for first-year university students. With a vision inspired by Natasha Ramroop Singh’s project, “Essential Chemistry for Biologists: Decoding the Language of Life,” Iain plans to produce 20 videos covering vital concepts such as fractions, exponents, roots, polynomials, rational expressions, linear and quadratic equations, and inequalities.

Our team will provide robust support throughout this project by editing the videos (recorded by Jon Fulton, OL Media – Thanks, Jon!) and creating comprehensive transcripts to enhance accessibility. We will also develop a dedicated WordPress site on trubox to host these videos and potential H5P components, ensuring students can practice problem-solving with instant feedback. Additionally, the videos will be available as a playlist on our Open Press YouTube channel, broadening their reach and impact. We’re excited to contribute to Iain’s goal of helping students build a solid mathematical foundation for their academic success!
