As some of you may have noticed a I published a guide to Open Science Resources last month, that guide is a work in progress but is targeted toward those working and studying science at UNL. There are a lot of great Open Access resources out there for educators that don’t fit with the way I chose to design my guide.
Educational materials always seem to increase in price, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
In the spirit of promoting Open Access I present to you a multidisciplinary selection of Open Educational Resources that I reviewed but did not include in the Teaching Resources section of my guide to Open Science.

What about http://www.khanacademy.org? I’ve heard some debates about it in recent weeks, but it is, at very least, a compelling case study on OER.
