Teaching Materials

The open access publication of teaching materials is a trend that has significant institutional and individual faculty support. This trend is important to students facing high prices for print textbooks and to faculty who want to use parts of textbooks combined with current news sources, journal articles and parts of scholarly books.

Examples:

• MIT OpenCourseWare
  
• Flat World Knowledge for Open College Textbooks
  
• Connexions at Rice University is a place to view and share educational material made of small knowledge chunks called modules that can be organized as courses, books, reports, etc.
