We are grateful to receive funding support from the University of Regina’s OEP Program Small Project Grant, which enabled us to actually carry real fieldwork in the Avonlea Badlands in Southern Saskatchewan to collect all the data for this book.
Thanks to funding from the Government of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina Open Education and Publishing Program (OEP Program) is able support the development of new and adaptations of existing open textbooks and educational resources, and offer them online for free. Our OEP Program provides students and instructors with easily accessible resources, and aims to democratize the learning experience by saving students the cost of textbooks, improving student grades and retention, and giving instructors the ability to customize their course materials.
To access these books, visit the University of Regina’s Open Education and Publishing Program’s Pressbooks Catalogue, or visit our website to see what is in development. These texts are available to download or to read online in a variety of formats, including pdf, ePub, and html—free of charge.
The Open Education Publishing Program would not be possible without the support and insight of many different stakeholders at the University of Regina.
