The availability of Free and Open educational resources is exploding. As is the availability of Open Textbooks. Yet often educators are unaware of these resources, and finding them through a generic Google search can be daunting.
In order to help raise awareness off the availability of these resources, and make them easier to find, BCcampus has created the Free Learning site. From this site, which requires no accounts or login, you can
- find new Open Education Sites and search within JUST THOSE SITES
- find new Open Textbook sites and search within JUST THOSE SITES
- learn about new Open content initiatives here in BC
- easily see all the Creative Commons content currently available in the BCcampus Shareable Online Learning Resources service
- read and subscribe to the latest Open Content news
