Last Saturday, February 6, , I had the opportunity to present at the Science Department Workshop on Teaching with Technology - Open Courseware and other Free Content.
There is a wealth of free content available to faculty on the web. Between Open Courseware, iTunes Unversity, and video sites such as You Tube Edu, an instructor can find content for both face-to-face and online courses. Most of the Open Courseware sites allow an individual to use, edit, and repackage the content as long as the source is cited and the materials are not being used for-profit. Most podcasts and vodcasts available on iTunes University can be downloaded for free and used with the same terms. You Tube Edu or other web-based video content can easily be embedded into an html page or the hyperlink can be incorporated into a document. These materials are an excellent way of supplementing your own course content and engaging students.
