Free Course Content

Friday morning, I attended the Colorado TELECOOP conference at Arapahoe Community College. The first session I went to was about open course content, specifically that provided at HippoCampus. It looks like a great resource for some subject areas, like math, science, history, government, and religion. Unfortunately, I don't usually teach those subjects. It would be much more helpful if it had content for literature and humanities courses. (I guess I'm going to have to do some research to find such resources for the classes I do teach.)

The presenter also mentioned the NROC Network, which "is a community of educators, adminstrators, technologies, and designers working together to develop high-quality, online content and instruction."
