This site hosts an authoring environment. E-learning content creators can create, organize and share their learning content here. (Not for content monetization). You can only share the links of your content published here.

Main features of the authoring environment:

The basic idea is to provide a convenient authoring environment to those teachers or authors who would like to share their content freely with Internet-learners. The maintainers of this site hope that a content repository will develop.

Teachers regularly create course-content for their students. They might already have a collection of lecture handouts, small notes, solutions to problems. Such content can be published here for the benefit of self-initiated learners.

This browser-based authoring environment makes it very easy for (Mathematics and Science) teachers to quickly create new content or curate available personal and Internet learning resources and share. The content created and published here can also be re-used with very little effort to create new content.

Features

Students, teachers, content authors and general users can use this site-

  • to experiment with online tools: 1) to create neatly formatted pages, 2) to plot functions, 3) to draw and 4) to create path,
  • to organize, and (re)use learning content,
  • to communicate, discuss, and share.

Environment

The authoring environment is more like a laboratory with several tools to explore the tasks and challenges involved in content authoring. It is-

  • for authoring, publishing and sharing content
  • made up of content, tools, users,  workspaces
  • browser-based (no software installation needed)
  • can be used for creating online courses
  • not a Learning Management System
  • not for live courses
  • no test/quiz support
  • it currently has limited content

Goals

We are developing this site  -

  • to provide an environment that facilitates collaborative learning content development,
  • to develop a community (particularly in India of subject experts/teachers and learners interested in experimenting with various teaching and learning models,
  • to develop learning content repository for context specific tailored re-use.
