Through generous funding by IAMSE, HEAL is becoming a dynamic, user-centered digital environment to allow medical educators to share and discuss teaching resources and methods.

A teachign and learning material repository built by the Consortium for Health Professions Educators at Duke. This site "provides links to information and internal and external resources to help faculty in many areas" concerning the scholarship of teaching and technology innovations. Also, the builders hope that faculty will participate and " contribute ideas, experiences, questions, resources, and so on."

"The website is considered to be a "living" resource that will change continually and to which each faculty member may contribute ideas, experiences, questions, resources, and so on."

" Funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, College Open Textbooks is a collection of colleges, governmental agencies, education non-profits, and other education-related organizations that are focused on the mission of driving the awareness and advocacy for open textbooks. This includes providing training for instructors adopting open resources, peer reviews of open textbooks, and mentoring online professional networks that provide support to authors who open their resources. Through our community outreach, we have found that open textbooks should be: * easy to use, get and pass around, * editable so instructors can customize content, * cross-platform compatible, * printable, * and accessible so they work with adaptive technology.

Karl Kapp, a respected educational technologist, lists a number of resources and research on virtual worlds as a higher education teaching tool.

Attached is a document from Faculty Focus on teaching with technology. These documents are collections of short pieces on the particular topic … and Faculty Focus has LOADS of topics. You can find that list of topics at http://www.facultyfocus.com/free-reports/. All reports are free, but in order to download them, you have to register (i.e., enter your e-mail address and create a password). Once you register, you will get regular announcements from Faculty Focus when new reports come out. Sometimes the e-mails are about reports you've already been notified of, but most of the time it's new stuff. Well, now that you know about this great resource, I will assume that those of you who are interested will register and get your own announcements. I, therefore, will not be cluttering up your Inbox with any more of these things … though you can expect notices when other kinds of things come out that might be of interest to you. Theresa M.
