For some courses it's possible to create your own custom list of readings, videos, etc. instead of using a textbook.
There are lots of places to find free, high quality resources for your courses:
- articles and online videos from library databases
- articles from Open Access journals
- scanned articles or book chapters (with some conditions)
- online videos from internet sites like YouTube or Vimeo
- blogs, wikis, or any other internet site
This guide will offer some advice for using these types of materials in your course.
