Looking for OpenStax University Physics problem sets

Hey folks,

Here at NC State, we have an instructor who wants to try to make use of WeBWorK in her Physics class. We're looking for the problem sets from the University Physics OpenStax textbook in a format that can be imported into WeBWorK. Does anyone know of such a thing? Or anywhere else we can go to ask?

Thanks in advance

David

You might start here:
https://github.com/openwebwork/webwork-open-problem-library/tree/master/Contrib/BrockPhysics

If you set up access to the OPL Contrib folder, you can use these. See:

The Physics department at the University of Lethbridge also has a question bank, though not all are based on OpenStax.

Their problems are on GitHub, but in a private repository. (They've got things to a point where the questions work for their students, but they're not sure things are sufficiently polished to want them released more broadly.)

I can put you in touch if you need additional material.

Thanks, Sean! I'll share this with my faculty and if they want to get in touch with the Lethbridge folks, I'll ping you. :)
