EduResources Weblog--Higher Education Resources Online
This weblog focuses on locating, evaluating, discussing, and providing guidelines to instructional resources for faculty and students in higher education. The emphasis is on free, shared, HE resources. Related topics and news (about commercial resources, K-12 resources, T&D resources, educational technology, digital libraries, distance learning, open source software, metadata standards, cognitive mapping, etc.) will also be discussed--along with occasional excursions into more distant miscellaneous topics in science, computing, and education. The EduResources Weblog operates in conjunction with a broader weblog called The Open Learner about using open knowledge resources across a diversity of subjects, levels, and interests for a wide range of learners and learning communities--students in schools and colleges, home schoolers, hobbyists, vocational learners, retirees, and others.

"Places to go: Intute" by Stephen Downes (Volume 3, Issue 1, October/November 2006). Stephen Downes examines the features of Intute, an online service that provides free access to a wide range of well-selected Web resources for educators and educational researchers. The simple layout of the site belies an innovative approach that separates it from other repositories: In addition to resources screened by editors and lists of services, Intute includes blogs and the Harvester, an automated computer program that contacts remote databases and retrieves records of newly created resources. Downes encourages educators and educational researchers to explore this promising forerunner in a new generation of learning object repositories. [Innovate]
