Computer Science Open Educational Resources
These links will take you directly to the portions of databases that contain materials relevant to Computer Science. However, this is by no means an exhaustive list. Feel free to explore the General Collections to find additional resources.
- Open Textbook Library - Computer Sci. & Information Systems (textbooks)These books have been reviewed by faculty from a variety of colleges and universities to assess their quality. These books can be downloaded for no cost, or printed at low cost. All textbooks are either used at multiple higher education institutions; or affiliated with an institution, scholarly society, or professional organization.
- InTech Open - Computer & Information Science (textbooks)Over 400 peer-reviewed open access books from InTech Open.
- Open Culture Free Computer Science TextbooksFree textbooks (aka open textbooks) written by knowledgeable scholars are a relatively new phenomenon.
- MIT Open Courseware - Computer ScienceMIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a web-based publication of virtually all MIT course content. OCW is open and available to the world and is a permanent MIT activity.
- Computational Science Education Reference DeskThe Computational Science Education Reference Desk (CSERD) is a Pathways portal of the National Science Digital Library and funded by the National Science Foundation. CSERD aims to help students learn about computational science and to help faculty and teachers incorporate it into the classroom.
- MERLOT-Computer Science (textbooks)All the materials in MERLOT are reviewed for suitability for retention in the collection. Many undergo the more extensive "peer review" for which MERLOT is famous. MERLOT presents annual awards for various categories of materials added to or used in the collection. As described in Material Link Checking and Removal, all material URL's in the collection are reviewed frequently for sustainability.
