Tony Hirst has a new post on custom course search engines. From the post:
If the desire for OU courses to make increased use of third party materials and open educational resources is realised, we are likely to see a shift in the pedagogy to one that is more resource based. This project seeks to explore the extent to which custom search engines tuned to particular courses may be used to support the discovery of appropriate resources published on the public web, and as indexed by Google, on any given course.
Hirst also has a post on conducting an “uncourse” while learning a subject.
