Khan academy has free videos on Youtube on a variety of anatomy and physiology subjects and pathophysiology. It's a great way to review the basics with the nursing students with high quality videos/lectures from Khan academy. It's free and I get a lot of positive feedback from the students.
Loretta-Thanks for the reminder about using Khan Academy videos in nursing courses and that they are free. I have to admit I forgot about this site. I too often use videos from You Tube (Nurse Sarah) to help students reinforce their learning.
Thanks-Pat
Excellent FREE site for math and sciences. All grade levels. Short video clips using a blackboard with verbal direction. Great depth of content available. Would be helpful to post on course site, saving you from creating the videos.
Thank you for sharing this link. I just heard about these free videos yesterday and was quite impressed and curious about them. I'd like to find a similar great resource for my discipline of accounting.
From kindergarten to calculus, Khan Academy is here to help. You may have heard about our videos, but did you know that Khan Academy has fun interactive math exercises that cover skills ranging from counting to calculus, grade by grade? Every exercise has step-by-step hints, so your child can practice as much as needed.

Probably a site most have heard of before, but well worth the look if you haven't. Basically, it's one man who sits at his computer with a slate and narrates videos explaining an idea/technique as demonstrated on a simple whiteboard. He's recorded a large compilation of these videos from a variety of fields in math and science.

Discussion boards. Google documents. YouTube videos. TED Talks. Khan Academy. These are just a few of the many resources some of us have used in our ever-growing arsenal of techie tools. We want to stay on the cutting edge. The Sloan Consortium (now Online Learning Consortium) predicts this trend toward an increased usage of technology will continue into the foreseeable future.
The particular workshop recording that interests me is the one on using peer review options for online teaching. This is something I'm trying to incorporate more of, and it was helpful to hear about how other teachers incorporate it into their courses!
