Blackboard is finally taking their scholar function public. Bookmarking for research/instructional purposes i.e. Diigo and Delicious. Good funtionality- notes, highlighting, sharing, groups, tag clouds for classroom sharing. Blackboard kills me, they have huge market share and are just now realizing this would be a good tool, ug. Have to recognize it because so many colleges, high schools have access to it.

From the site, "Research and revise a wide variety of school subjects as Videojug presents tips and tutorials for a range of subjects across the school-board. Learn or re-learn English, Maths, Science , Modern and Traditional Foreign Languages, Sign Language, Politics, History and Geography. Between brain-teasers and fun experiments theres something for scholars old and new." Interesting take on organizing some of the many videos available on the internet.

This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you're looking for. Not all the software is free, but it does provide an extensive list of software for use.

University lectures available online from all over the world, including MIT, Harvard, etc. Not necessarily great lectures all the time, but great sources of information and sometimes great examples of lecture done well.

Video lectures from universities across the country. Lecture is not the most engaging format, but a great resource for those interested in exploring topics in more depth on their own, but not a great model for engaging presetation for 60-90 minutes.

Great set of resources that might be interesting to people who want to explore some topics on their own, or want to include some aspects of the lectures in their classes. I think there is a HUGE potential for using this content some how.
