Open Culture compiled an impressive list of free online courses from some of the best universities in the United States. You may find ideas and inspiration for your own courses; or you may want to learn something you'd never had a chance to discover before from this list. I just wish I had time to take them all!

Coach's Eye iPhone App



TechSmith has come out with an app for the iPhone that turns you into the ultimate coach. It allows you to:
  • record and review video right on your iPhone
  • focus on the details in the video by slowing it down, drawing on it, adding audio commentary
  • easily share your modified video via text message, email, or YouTube
I can see this being used in education for more than sports coaching. It would be useful in many disciplines such as speech, chemistry, and geography. Find out more at http://www.coachseye.com/.
