Experiment in Republishing

David Wiley has republished this free 14 week course "Blogs, Wikis, and New Media"as an experiment in republishing Open Courseware using Wordpress. Explore the course as is or download it and adapt to suit. (Creative Commons license)
More information about the original course, facilitation and assignments can be found at Utah State Open Courseware.

The course covers a comprehensive range of 'Web2.0' technologies including blogs, RSS, wikis, social bookmarking & photo sharing tools, folksonomies & tagging, GIS mapping, audio & video podcasts, screencasts, video sharing and mashups.

This is an amazing resource, especially for educators interested in updating their knowledge and
'maintaining a familiarity with the most recent tools and capabilities.' This resource should complement individual experimentation and personal learning as well as teacher workshops. Spread the word!
