openculture.com

Openculture.com is another free open courseware, but with a twist! The difference is that openculture feeds by linking you to iTunes or downloadable mp3 files. Today's students forget to bring their books, paper, and pencils to class, but always have their iPod with them. Openculture uses the students favorite tool (their iPod of mp3 player) and utilizes it to learn. This site has linked up with multiple colleges and universities to give you the an enormous amount of information.

Just think...instead of lecturing for 20 minutes in the classroom, have the students go home, download the podcast from iTunes, and have them fill in the note sheet! Now that's using some great technology!
