Create 3.1.3 Locating Resources Forum

Open educational resources are available in a variety of mediums. Using the content topic previously selected, locate an image, applicable text, and a multimedia object that apply to the topic. Ensure the resources are cited properly and post these items in your blog with the links.

For my higher level AP English Literature courses, I have had a lot of success using Yale Open Courses.  These Yale courses are full courses that can be watched online and are completely open to the public.  If a topic is applicable I try to show pertinent 10-15 minute segments from these in class.  One of my favorite courses, is an intermediate level philosophy course on Death.  This topic ties in with literature and helps to answer the perennial question of why do so many people die in literary works.

The following links are all from the Open Yale Course.  

Here is a link to an image of the book inspired by the course:  http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300180848

Here is a link to the course readings Download all course pages [zip - 10MB]

Here is a link to the audio/visual and first class of the course itself (both of which can be found on itunes and youtube).  http://www.cleanvideosearch.com/media/action/yt/watch?videoId=p2J7wSuFRl8  

All of the above resources are found at 

Kagan, Shelley. "Philosophy 176: Death." Yale Open Courses. Yale University, Spring 2007. Web. 10 Mar. 2015.
