Marking Digital History at UMW

Jeff McClurken’s Adventure’s in Digital History seminar is (or is it “was” now?) a pretty amazing thing.

WordPress.com as OpenCourseWare

David Wiley’s post about using WordPress.com as [[OpenCourseWare]] to republish a course of his has me excited. The site looks pretty damn sharp. Very clean and easy to scan, an excellent model for using these tools to create attractive, low-overhead sites.
