OpenCulture has linked to collections of open course material from a number of institutions including MIT, Berkley, Stanford, Oxford, University of Glasgow, Johns Hopkins, UCLA, University of Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Harvard and Carnegie Mellon.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, OpenCulture is a site that explores cultural and educational media freely available on the web.

While the learning repository concept isn’t new, this implementation as a collection of shared links has some interesting social features like ranks, comments, and recommendations. It also makes use of a tag cloud for navigation of contributed resources, which makes locating resources much easier than “traditional” learning repositories. RSS feeds are available by tag as well.

Now, if they only had a logo that made use of gentle gradients and reflections it’s web2.0-ness would be complete.

I stumbled across this site looking through one of the presentations at the site for the course T-502 (Learning Media that Bridge Distance and Time) (on of Harvard’s course iSites).
