Let's turn our attention to an interesting website: Connexions

This learning resource can be considered the facebook of learning. It is basically a portal where people can share learning material with each other. You can take some of the material, and change it in different ways and repost it as something new. The great thing about this learning resource is that they strive to present and retain material that is explained in a modular format, meaning one concept at a time. These concepts can then be used to link to other concepts, which helps us to better see the connections (Woah. I just realized that one).

I still need to do some exploring, because it is not clear to me yet how it how the linking occurs and what tools are available within Connexions for that. Some of the great stuff about this is that UC Merced is apparently using this tool for their curriculum, which is a sign that at least some major universities realize the need for change in the way we are taught and the way we learn. Let's see if anyone else finds this useful and how would they use it? I'll explore more and see how I might use it myself and post something...
