Wouldn't it be nice if MCO could get something like this set up on their website?

Just bookmarking this really nice libguide (aimed at faculty) for future inspiration.

Reviewed in Choice, August 2015: Open Education Europa, from the European Commission. http://openeducationeuropa.eu/ [Visited May'15] Open Education Europa offers a single gateway to more than 170 MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) offerings, nearly 800 courses, and a wealth of freely accessible educational resources in the European Union. The project grew out of the EU-supported Opening up Education Initiative calling for more innovative teaching, new technologies, and open-access learning options for EU citizens. Information is delivered in a simple, easy-to-use manner via the content areas displayed across the tops of pages and a giant search bar below the display; advanced searching reveals the website's total number of results under each filter type. Though the main content of the site is in English, the search bar and browsing buttons can be set to the languages of the EU via a drop-down menu. Browsing through content is simple, with filters set to refine by content type (e.g., MOOCs, courses, articles, events) and help differentiate areas of study by subject or level of materials, language, and special features of the materials (e.g., video lectures, forum, assessment tools). There is also an option to filter content that requires prerequisite courses or experience. The search results are set out much like an online-shopping site-sortable by posting date, alphabetically by title, or relevance. Returns can be hit-or-miss, however, with some filters failing to restrict specific content, e.g., retrieving Spanish and German materials even after setting the English-language filter or returning the same results in different languages. Though the browsing and search algorithms might require a bit more fine-tuning, the creators have designed a handy aggregator that should help increase access to new and innovative educational content for all EU citizens. Open Education Europa is also a convenient way for US citizens, students, or faculty to discover

WASHINGTON (January 15, 2015) - A new joint grant program by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation seeks to give a second life to outstanding out-of-print books in the humanities by turning them into freely accessible e-books. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will jointly provide $1 million to convert out-of-print books into EPUB e-books with a Creative Commons (CC) license, ensuring that the books are freely downloadable with searchable texts and in formats that are compatible with any e-reading device. Books proposed under the Humanities Open Book program must be of demonstrable intellectual significance and broad interest to current readers.
