Distance Teaching and Learning

This week I am at the 23rd Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning in Madison, WI. Like all conferences there is a mixture of good and bad. Here are some of the useful resources I have now become aware of (in no particular order): AMSER AMSER (the Applied Math and Science Education Repository) is a portal of educational resources and services built specifically for use by those in Community and Technical Colleges but free for anyone to use. Similar to Merlot. Automatic Sync Technologies, LLC Automated captioning server for educational videos. HippoCampus Monterey Institute for Technology and Education has some great online resources. "The goal of HippoCampus is to provide high-quality, multimedia content on general education subjects to high school and college students free of charge." The Internet Scout Project A compendium of quality online resources.
