MyOpenMath

To build MyOpenMath members of the Lumen Learning team and faculty members from nine institutions participated in the Kaleidoscope Open Course Initiative. This initiative has allowed students to access pedagogical tools for free. Students have access to downloadable textbooks, lab workbooks, detailed answer keys, exams, videos and interactive homework practice. At Mercy we utilize the MyOpenMath free textbooks in three general education courses: Math 105, 115 and 116.
