Content You Can Link To (and Sometimes Just Use)
Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching
(http://www.merlot.org/):
MERLOT is a free and open content resource for faculty and students in
higher education. While not as extensive as FREE (see below), MERLOT
allows for peer review of the sites so you have a little better guide
to what you might want to use. A search on “English Literature” brought
up 14 pages including an online writing guide, a site about Chaucer, a
Shakespeare site (of course) and more!
Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (http://www.ed.gov/free/):
A searchable index of hundreds of education resources supported by the
Department of Education. Starting by typing the title of your course
into their search function because the categorical lists are large and
designed to appeal to K-12 educators even though a great deal of
content is appropriate for college instruction. A search on “cognitive
psychology” returned 10 pages including cognitive psychology applied to
intelligence analysis and extensive information about the language of
thought hypothesis.
The WWW Virtual Library (http://vlib.org/):
Volumes of information indexed by discipline including links to
journals, directories, discussion forums, sub-disciplines and
fascinating information. The search engines is not very effective
because much of the information resides on sites other than vlib.org,
but the indexing is such that only a few clicks brings up content
pages.
