Found via Daypop again (seems strange the list is focusing on resource lists today). Enter site is about Distance Ed Resources - but I am most interested in the following:
E-Texts
a new (and free) online-college-reader/Web site** started @ the University of Alabama last summer: www.readinglinks.com. Contact Myron Tuman <mtuman@bama.ua.edu>;The site has no banners, no cookies, nor any commercial tie-ins. It's a personally funded project, started nearly a year ago to see if it was possible to re-define the traditional college reader by drawing together at one easy-to-use site some of the best, freely available, copyrighted texts on the Web. . . . The most exciting feature of the site is the TOPIC-OF-THE-DAY (5 new ones, Monday - Friday). Each topic has 3 areas for students (more than enough work to last most classes for a week or two):
- Links to Web sites that have much more information about that topic
- Suggestions for class assignments and links to related topics as well as additional readings
Two other features of www.readinglinks.com:
- Column 1 contains an exhaustive list of links to Web sites that contain regularly updated featured writing -- all organized by subject
- Column 3 contains an archive of all previous topics-of-the-day
