I stumbled across a new and interesting site from the The Berkman Center For Internet & Society at Harvard Law School.
From their site: H2O playlists are more than just a cool, sleek technology -- they represent a new way of thinking about education online. An H2O Playlist is a series of links to books, articles, and other materials that collectively explore an idea or set the stage for a course, discussion, or current event. H2O Playlists make it easy to: - transform traditional syllabi into interactive, global learning tools
- share the reading lists of world-renowned scholars, organizations, and cultural leaders
- let interested people subscribe to playlist updates and stay current on their fields
- promote an exchange of ideas and expertise among professors, students, and researchers
- communicate and aggregate knowledge -- online and offline.
| This site is only a beta at present. Registration appears to be free. It is a promising way to view resources that others have found pertinent to their research on any given topic. A LexisNexis for the masses, if you will. Check it out at http://h2obeta.law.harvard.edu/home.do. Discuss this article on the forums. (0 posts) |
