Faculty-friendly Connexions documentation

Connexions author, Ken Busbee, has become one of the most vocal supporters of open education materials and Connexions, in particular, as a repository of choice for sharing and reusing those materials. Ken is faculty at Houston Community College, a founding member of the Connexions Consortium.

In his effort to help new authors understand and take advantage of Connexions, Ken has been creating faculty-friendly documentation for Connexions. The training materials themselves live in Connexions and he puts them all together inside a Connexions lens, called Busbee's Connexions Training Lens.

Here is how Ken describes the new training materials that he has created:

"These materials are designed to orient and familiarize readers with the features of Connexions Project. They have been organized into 6 collections that contain over 25 modules that cover:

1. Understanding the Vision of Connexions
2. How to Search and Browse the Connexions Web Site (includes rating modules)
3. Effectively Using and Creating Connexions Lenses
4. Authoring Connexions Modules using Microsoft Word Documents
5. Ideas and Tools for Improving Connexions Modules and Collections
6. Appendix Materials for a Connexions Collection used as a College Course
