Coming Soon: Open Education Directory
According to a recent O'Reilly article, the Hewlett Foundation is working with Creative Commons to create a search portal for open education courses such as MIT's Open Courseware. Here's a blurb about the open education project:
"The initiative's goal is to build a comprehensive directory of open educational resources, encouraging their broader discovery and use. There are a large number of open content repositories, but they have been difficult to find in larger, more aggregated search tools, their riches often lost in the forest of commercial or deep web results."
While many directories of open educational material currently exist (my own website, Selfmadescholar.com offers a lengthy list of opencourseware classes), I'm excited about the prospect of a more complete portal. Free educational material benefits everyone, and it doesn't cost schools much to host already-created reading lists and lecture noteslinks.
