Need an updated curriculum but can’t afford new textbooks or high-end digital courses? Don’t freak out because there are hundreds of classroom courses available online for free at
Connexions. With everything from classes on the elements of music to Biochemistry, the Connexions courses are thorough and generally written by authoritative authors. A gem is Kerry Felder’s
Algebra II curriculum that has just been accepted by the state of
California. Just register and download as many of the over 700 classes available as you like and use them to treat specific subjects or build a whole class around them.
Actually, you don't even have to register in order to enjoy all of the content on the Connexions site. The only reason you would ever need to register is to author content yourself.

I didn't know that. I find that in my line of work I need to register to dozens of these and other services and as a result I get lots of unwanted emails. It's all well-meaninged but it does get in the way of getting my job done.
thanks again,
