This project involves the creation of a databank of clicker questions that will supplement the instruction of an upper-level undergraduate mathematics course at SFU. These questions can be posed to students throughout lectures, facilitating student engagement and helping to identify gaps in knowledge and proficiency. This project fills a need for upper-level undergraduate mathematics clicker questions at SFU.
Calculus Early Transcendentals Integral & Multi-Variable Calculus for Social Sciences has been redesigned in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University from Calculus Early Transcendentals by Lyryx. Substantial portions of the content, examples, and diagrams have been redeveloped to meet the needs of social science calculus. Additional contributions have been provided by an experienced and practicing instructor. The textbook is approachable, cohesive, and suitable for standard integral calculus courses offering a comprehensive treatment of the necessary calculus techniques and concepts.
Information about what was changed in this adaptation is found in the Copyright statement on page iii of the textbook.

The use of open re-use licenses and Internet technologies have long promised to reduce barriers to education by making it more distributed, equitable, and open. Indeed, the promise of open education can trace its roots to the the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations 1948, which states "everyone has a right to education." However, there is little formal evidence that open education has an impact on increasing access to learning or making education more equitable.
As a collaboration between Simon Fraser University (SFU), University of British Columbia (UBC), BCcampus, British Columbia Research Libraries Group (BCRLG) and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), this event explored the goals, failures, and successes of open education. The event explored such questions as: is open education succeeding in being a transformative movement that makes learning more accessible? What are the criteria and successes that should be used to measure if the open education movement is a success? What more needs to be done?
