Applied Math and Science Education Repository

AMSER (Applied Math and Science Education Repository) is a portal of math and science educational resources and services that are open source and available to the public. Included in the site are university publications and websites, the websites of professional organizations, and content from agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Also included are teaching tools for classroom use or personal study (great resources if you're looking to learn a little about a new field or want a refresher on a topic). Click on the "Resources" tab to browse by topic, or search for keywords using the site's search options. Register with AMSER to receive updates on the latest additions to the repository.

AMSER is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) and is being created by a team of project partners led by Internet Scout.

Academic Earth offers video lectures online and open to all

Academic Earth is an organization whose mission is to give "everyone on earth access to a world-class education" (Robert Ludlow, Academic Earth Founder/CEO). The site provides video lectures and additional educational materials from several major universities (Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, UCLA, and Yale) across a variety of subjects - chemistry, engineering, physics, and more. Browse by subject, university, or instructor, or search by keyword. More than 200 instructors now provide over 1,500 lectures, some of which are organized into courses of 4 to 50 lectures each.


Follow a particular instructor or subject by signing up for email alerts or an RSS feed, or by becoming a fan of Academic Earth on Facebook. Find your favorite alert method on the toolbar at the bottom of the site:


and stay up-to-date as new content is added to the site. A good resource for students, those who want to learn the basics about a new field, or those who want to stay in touch with current developments within their field.

NASA eClips: Innovative Real World Learning

NASA is sharing some of its innovations and research with students and the public through NASA eClips, a web-based video and educator resource repository which focuses on grades K-5, 6-8, 9-12 and the general public. NASA's Our World focuses on grades K-5; NASA's Real World Mathematics focuses on grades 6-8; NASA Launchpad targets grades 9-12; and NASA 360 targets the general public and highlights NASA’s impact on daily lives, showcasing some of the 30,000 inventions developed by NASA over the past 50 years. It examines how technologies developed by or for NASA are used in everything from space exploration to everyday consumer products.
