Cnx.org – Sharing Knowledge, Building Communities

Cnx.org Cnx.org is an environment for collaboratively developing, freely sharing, and rapidly publishing scholarly content on the Web.

Their Content Commons contains educational materials for everyone, from children to college students to professionals, organized in small modules that are easily connected into larger collections or courses. All content is free to use and reuse under the Creative Commons “attribution” license. Most textbooks are a mass of information in linear format: one topic follows after another. However, their brains are not linear, they learn by making connections between new concepts and things they already know. Connexions mimic this by breaking down content into smaller chunks, called modules that can be linked together and arranged in different ways. This lets students see the relationships both within and between topics and helps demonstrate that knowledge is naturally interconnected, not isolated into separate classes or books.

Cnx.org In Their Own Words

“Just as knowledge is interconnected, people don’t live in a vacuum. Connexions promote communication between content creators and provides various means of collaboration. Collaboration helps knowledge grow more quickly, advancing the possibilities for new ideas from which we all benefit.”

Why Cnx.org It Might Be A Killer

Everyone is free to create educational materials and contribute them to the repository. In Connexions, everyone is free to copy the material and customize it, is free to mix the material together into new books and courses, and is free to create finished products like e-learning web courses, CDroms, and even printed books. The use of Connexions is free to anyone who has Internet Access. Cnx.org is a place to view and share educational material made of small knowledge chunks called modules that can be organized as courses, books, reports, etc. Anyone may view or contribute: authors create and collaborate, instructors rapidly build and share custom collections, and learners find and explore content
