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.

Every now and then I like to cite web locations that are aesthetically pleasing, i.e., they are just pleasurable to view and use: Film Australia is such a site. The contents of Film Australia are video clips organized by subject and curriculum. The display of the contents is colorful, efficient, and easy-to-use. Most of the items at Film Australia are, not surprisingly, too particular to Australian history (see for example, Harold Holt's Briefcase) to be of general interest, but the quality and organization of the displays is worth emulating by other educational repositories. Take a look, you'll like what you see. ____JH
