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.

The Education section of the Internet Archive continues to grow, with 1282 items currently archived. The section can be searched or browsed; displayed on the top page are the Most Downloaded Items of the Past Week, Most Downloaded Items of the Past Month, and Most Downloaded overall. Additionally, evaluations of some items are available and forum posts discussing items can be viewed. Whenever I explore resources like the Archive I find it easy to imagine a student somewhere in Africa or Indonesia or AnywhereBooksareScarce diligently viewing something like the MIT OCW Video Lectures on Differential Equations. _____JH

"Welcome to the Archive’s library of Open Educational Resources and university lectures. This library contains hundreds of free courses, video lectures, and supplemental materials from universities in the United States and China. Many of these lectures are available for download."
