This past year, Brent Purkaple established the Lynx Open Ed website (lynx-open-ed.org). This digital humanities project focuses on the creation and distribution of exhibit-related Open Educational Resources (OERs) based on scholarship in the history of science and collaborative engagement with educators. The website was significantly enhanced by incorporating an updated version of the Galileo’s World Exhibit Guide (formerly available only in iBook format). OERs were field-tested and further refined in a Galileo’s World freshman course during the Fall semester. Check out the following sections of the website:
