The OER resource I have chosen is an introductory business statistics textbook.  As is, the textbook is adequate for my needs.  However, the textbook focuses primarily on manual, by-hand calculations, many of which are time-consuming to complete and do not reflect how students would perform such calculations or other statistical analysis in a real-world situation. By contrast, I have designed by business statistics courses with an Excel-only approach to perform statistical calculations and analysis, which allows students to focus on understanding and interpretation of statistical results, and reflects a more practical, real-world scenario. My long-term goal is to adapt the existing textbook by replacing or enhancing the manual calculations with the corresponding Excel functions and calculations along with interactive Excel spreadsheets.
