About Open Education Resources
Biology and the Citizen— was adapted by Colleen Jones and Elisa Taylor from the BCcampus’ Concepts of Biology- 1st Canadian Edition and OpenStax’s Concepts of Biology. For information about what was changed, refer to the copyright statement. In 2022, this book was created to incorporate the BCcampus version of H5P activities and build new H5P activities for the OpenStax version.
