The Enigma Code is good and so is Monty Python (though not sure it's really mathc (yes it is, no it isn't))

"The concept behind My Resource Cloud is that each educator tailors interactive content to suit the needs of their own learners.   My Resource Cloud consists of a number of resource sections: My Language Cloud, My Math(s) Cloud, My Science Cloud and My ICT Cloud. My Resource Cloud allows users to integrate web, printed, mobile and social media based technologies to help motivate learners."

Probably higher level school/undergrad level. Ones I've seen are 'interesting' takes on maths rather than dry lecture type stuff.

Interesting line up of online courses for 2014

How do we move outside our usual habits to allow new possibilities into our thinking? Being artfully disruptive to push the border between real and unreal until they encompass more.

Excellent article on a different approach to getting teachers engaged with elearning (and any pedagogical innovation). I think we've already bed this overall idea i.e. that we need teachers to participate in the design of their courses but this provides structure around it and also theoretical underpinning.

"As learning technologies are now integral to most higher education student learning experiences, universities need to make strategic choices about what technologies to adopt and how to best support and develop the use of these technologies, particularly in a climate of limited resources. Information from students is therefore a valuable contribution when determining institutional goals, building infrastructure and improving the quality of student learning. This paper draws on a survey of student experiences and expectations of technology across three Australian universities. Analysis of text responses from 7,000 students provides insight into ways that institutional learning technologies and academic-led technologies are influencing the student experience. This paper also discusses how the three universities have used this information to develop strategic initiatives, and identifies a need for new strategies to support academic-led use of the available tools."
