I have three great resources for this Monday: The Internet Scout Report, The Biology Project and Profiles in Science.

Internet Scout Report
I am feeling pretty bad about not recommending this sooner, but better late than never. If you haven’t signed up for the Internet Scout Report, you really should! It is a fabulous resource. It is a weekly digest sent on Friday via email that talks about new resources found on the Internet. I use it as one of my resources for finding great resources to try out and then blog about here. Really terrific stuff, everything is vetted and it covers many different subject areas.

The Biology Project
Another great online repository of interactive modules for biology! This is out of the University of Arizona. A great way to supplement the textbook you assign for class or use some of the interactive activities as assignments or practice for tests. Again, why reinvent the wheel when you can get great online resources from another database?

Profiles in Science
This site is by the National Library of Medicine and includes biographies of many different scientists. What is especially great about this site is the fact that it links to primary source material from the archival collections. There are many digital versions of documents from the archival collections that can be accessed through this site. A great way of incorporating primary source documents from the archives into a course!

And, just an announcement, I am presenting at Back to the Bay on Thursday. Come and say hi. I’d love to meet you. I’m co-presenting Online @ Your Library: Digital Resources for Research and Teaching at 9am and Online Content for Online Learning at 4pm.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday. More science resources to come later this week.

The Wisconsin Online Resource Center (Wisc-Online) has over 2000 online learning objects in there database that instructors can embed in their websites and lessons. More are being added. Note that this database requires registration to use and covers a wide range of topics. A good place to get some learning objects or find some inspiration for creating learning objects of your own.

If you would like online modules, tutorials or learning objects created for your class, or would like some help getting started, please contact me at library. I’d be happy to help.
